Ute Skiba has 40 years research experience in biogeochemistry, with focus on in vitro and in situ measurements of nitrous oxide (N2O), nitric oxide (NO), and methane (CH4) fluxes from natural & agricultural ecosystems across temperate, tropical & arctic climate zones.

I investigate the impact of greenhouse gas fluxes related to key environmental drivers: (1) climate, soil properties, agricultural management, atmospheric N deposition; (2) microbial and abiotic processes leading to emissions of direct and indirect greenhouse gas fluxes to the atmosphere; (3) determine spatial and temporal variability of soil trace gas fluxes; (4) upscaling from plot to larger and policy relevant areas through measurements and simple regression models.
