Can radon help to improve methane emission estimates? Results from a dual-tracer inversion
A 2021 European methane inversion using simultaneous methane and radon measurements from 17 sites produced country-level emissions estimates that differed ...
Poplar Leaves Boost Selenium and Cut Methane in Goats but Backfire in Early Lactation
A new German study finds poplar foliage raises selenium status and lowers methane emissions in goats, but tannins in the ...
Tannins in Livestock Feed Show Clear Gains for Ruminants but Mixed Results for Pigs and Poultry
A comprehensive review of 112 livestock studies finds that tannin feed additives deliver clear benefits for cattle, sheep and goats, ...
Rust Coats on Rice Roots Turn from Carbon Vaults into Greenhouse Gas Engines
A new study shows that iron plaque on rice roots first preserves soil organic carbon but later fuels iron-reducing bacteria ...
