The goal of this project is to decipher the role of fungal denitrifiers in N₂O production from soils under sustainable management practices. Here we apply mesocosms experiments combined with SIP and meta-omics approaches targeting the functional genes of N cycle. In addition, we also design primers for fungal denirifiers based on complete fungal genomes and soil metagenomics data.
