The exchange of gases between the soil and the atmosphere plays a significant role in the global greenhouse gas cycle, acting as either a sink or a source. Analysing these fluxes is key to understanding soil gases. These fluxes are primarily driven by diffusion, which is influenced by various environmental factors, as well as by the interactions between different gases. My project aims to identify and quantify soil gas fluxes, thereby improving our understanding of these processes.
