Coastal ecosystems dominate oceanic methane (CH4) emissions. However, there is limited
knowledge about how biotic interactions between infauna and aerobic methanotrophs (ie …

Sediment macrofauna play a vital role in sustaining aquatic food webs and biogeochemical
cycles. Previous research demonstrated that bioturbation indirectly affects methane (CH4) …

Methane and nitrous oxide are potent greenhouse gases (GHGs) that contribute to climate
change. Coastal sediments are important GHG producers, but the contribution of …

Large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, are produced in anoxic sediments by
methanogenic archaea. Nonetheless, over 90% of the produced methane is oxidized via …

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 …

Coastal ecosystems can efficiently remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and
are thus promoted for nature-based climate change mitigation. Natural methane (CH4) …

Shallow coastal waters are dynamic environments that dominate global marine methane
emissions. Particularly high methane concentrations are found in seasonally anoxic waters …

We utilized laboratory microcosms to evaluate the effects of a benthic sediment bioturbator
(Heteromastus similis; Polychaeta; conveyor-belt deposit feeder) on vertical distributions of …

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that is produced in large quantities in marine
sediments. Microbially mediated oxidation of methane in sediments, when in balance with …

Large quantities of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4) are stored in the seafloor. The flux of
CH4 from the sediments into the water column and finally to the atmosphere is mitigated by …
