Co-author on new method using O2 and pH sensitive nano-particles

A new paper was just accepted in which a new method for measuring O2 and pH dynamics using optical nano-particle based sensors around seagrass roots is described. Seagrasses can alter the chemical composition of its rhizosphere to alleviate e.g. sulphide toxicity through chemical speciation. Micro heterogeneities were found in both O2 and pH environment and greater oxidation capabilities were found in light exposure of the leaf canopy and during elevated temperatures.
