Diverse methylotrophic methanogenic archaea cause high methane emissions from seagrass meadows
S Schorn, S Ahmerkamp, E Bullock… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Marine coastlines colonized by seagrasses are a net source of methane to the atmosphere.
However, methane emissions from these environments are still poorly constrained, and the …
