Image of microbial reef structures. A new study of the Black Sea shows that microbes in a thin, oxygen poor layer act like a biological filter, converting most nitrous oxide to harmless nitrogen gas before it can reach the surface. The work reveals a missing sink in the global N₂O budget and highlights how expanding low oxygen waters may reshape greenhouse gas emissions from the ocean.
