While a prescribed fire itself can produce greenhouse gas emissions. In between the burns, we propose that soil emissions of greenhouse gases (in this case nitrogen oxide) may decrease due to fire-induced shifts in soil chemistry and microbiology.

020

Jennifer Goff, PhD @jlgoff.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

While higher level taxonomy failed to produce a fire-specific signature, divergence in the microbial communities was observed at both the gene and genome level. In particular the genetic potential for denitrification drastically decreased. 🧵

I did also run CoverM and GUNC on my own using command line. But that was just for the paper! I’m also thinking about publishing in some way the worksheets and resources I built around KBase for the class since I think it can also be applied to any samples really! Just need to polish them a bit.

030

Jennifer Goff, PhD @jlgoff.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

The assembly & annotations were all with KBase, which is what we covered in class. I also used KBase to run Kaiju and calculate ANI. The graphics were mostly R (one student was actually taking an R class at the same time and did a lot of that work for their class project, which was a fun synergy!)

New preprint! This one is actually from my class! We did metagenomic sequencing on a Winogradsky column.
