Aerobic methane (CH4) oxidation plays a significant role in marine CH4 consumption.
Temperature changes resulting from, for example, global warming, have been suggested to …

Although coastal sediments are major contributors to the production of atmospheric
methane, the effects of environmental conditions on methanogenesis and the community of …

Methanotrophs in marine sediments and overlying water attenuate the emissions of
methane into the atmosphere and thus play an important role for the global cycle of this …

Methane, a major greenhouse gas, plays an important role in global carbon cycling and
climate change. Methanogenesis is identified as an important process for methane formation …

Coastal wetlands are widely recognized as atmospheric methane sources. However, recent
field studies suggest that some coastal wetlands could also act as methane sinks, but the …

Microbial methane oxidation has a significant impact on the methane flux from marine gas
hydrate areas. However, the environmental fate of methane remains poorly constrained. We …

Large amounts of gas hydrate are distributed in the northern slope of the South China Sea,
which is a potential threat of methane leakage. Aerobic methane oxidation by …

Coastal zones are transitional areas between land and sea where large amounts of organic
and inorganic carbon compounds are recycled by microbes. Especially shallow zones near …

Although mangrove forests can uptake atmospheric CO 2 and store carbon as organic
matter called “blue carbon”, it is also an important natural source of greenhouse gas …

Coastal wetlands contribute about 75% to the global oceanic CH 4 emissions, thus play a
vital role in global C cycles. In this paper, we provided a perspective on researches on …
