This study investigated the abundance, distribution, and composition of microbial
communities at the watershed scale in a boreal peatland within the Marcell Experimental …

Methanogenic archaea are ubiquitous in peat soils; however, their diversity and distributions
within and among peatland ecosystems are not well known. We used comprehensive clone …

Peatlands are important players in climate change–biosphere feedbacks via long-term net
carbon (C) accumulation in soil organic matter and as potential net C sources including the …

The objective of this study was to characterize metabolically active, aerobic methanotrophs
in an ombrotrophic peatland in the Marcell Experimental Forest, in Minnesota …

Although northern peatlands contribute significantly to natural methane emissions, recent
studies of the importance and type of methanogenesis in these systems have provided …

Northern peatlands are a large repository of atmospheric carbon due to an imbalance
between primary production by plants and microbial decomposition. The James Bay …

The active methanotroph community was investigated in two contrasting North American
peatlands, a nutrient-rich sedge fen and nutrient-poor Sphagnum bog using in vitro …

Fluctuating environmental conditions can promote diversity and control dominance in
community composition. In addition to seasonal temperature and moisture changes …

Rates of methane (CH4) production vary considerably among northern peat-forming
wetlands, and it is not clear whether variability is caused by environmental factors affecting …

Field and lab-based methane (CH4) fluxes and methanogen community structure were
characterized across three peatlands in central Ontario (Canada) representing a …
