Soil in a Bottle- Join from anywhere in Japan
Tohoku University
| Presented By | Tohoku University |
|---|---|
| Goal |
Find soil microbes which can reduce nitrous oxide (N₂O).
|
| Task |
Soil sample collection
|
| Description |
We study how soil microbes can reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs), especially nitrous oxide (N₂O) emitted from agricultural soils, a crucial challenge for preventing global warming. Together with citizen collaborators across Japan, we collect soil samples to discover new microbes that can help create a cooler and sustainable Earth. Read more |
