This project involves the study of methyl bromide (CH3Br) and methyl chloride (CH3Cl) from fungi in several environments including temperate forest, salt-marsh, fresh-water wetland, and agricultural ecosystems. Several types of common fungi will be isolated from soil and coarse woody debris, grown in the laboratory and their ability to produce methyl halide investigated, and also re-introduced into sterilized 'natural' soils to determine methyl halide production rates in the natural environment. The effect of soil temperature and moisture levels on the production rates will be studied.Methyl bromide and methyl chloride are important atmospheric halides because they can affect tropospheric and stratospheric ozone chemistry. Their atmospheric budgets are not well understood.

该项目涉及研究温带森林、盐沼、淡水湿地和农业生态系统等多种环境中真菌产生的甲基溴（CH 3Br）和甲基氯（CH 3Cl）。 将从土壤和粗木质残体中分离出几种常见真菌，在实验室中生长并研究它们产生卤代甲烷的能力，并将其重新引入灭菌的“天然”土壤中，以确定自然环境中卤代甲烷的产生率。 将研究土壤温度和湿度水平对生产率的影响，甲基溴和甲基氯是重要的大气卤化物，因为它们可以影响对流层和平流层的臭氧化学。 它们的大气预算还不太清楚。
