Soil Chemistry group hiking day
In 2021, the traditional soil chemistry hiking day took place on a bright autumn day by the shores of Lake Lucerne. It was a great opportunity to catch up outside of the office and the lab.
A coupled function of biochar as geobattery and geoconductor leads to stimulation of microbial Fe(III) reduction and methanogenesis in a paddy soil enrichment culture
A new publication in the journal Soil Biology and Biogeochemistry explores how a coupled function of biochar as geobattery and geoconductor leads to stimulation of microbial Fe(III) reduction and methanogenesis in a paddy soil enrichment culture. The work is a collaboration between authors at numerous institutions, including Ruben Kretzschmar (ETH Soil Chemistry), and Andreas Kappler (Univeristy of Tübingen, and current guest of ETH Soil Chemistry).
Welcome Andreas
Prof. Andreas Kappler (University of Tübingen, Germany) is joining the Soil Chemistry Group for seven months during his sabbatical.
