Methane (CH4) is produced in many natural systems that are vulnerable to change under a
warming climate, yet current CH4 budgets, as well as future shifts in CH4 emissions, have …

Microbial methanogenesis is a major source of the greenhouse gas methane (CH 4). It is the
final step in the anaerobic degradation of organic matter when inorganic electron acceptors …

Methane-oxidizing bacteria are characterized by their capability to grow on methane as sole
source of carbon and energy. Cultivation-dependent and-independent methods have …

Wetlands have numerous critical ecological functions, some of which are regulated by
several nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) biogeochemical processes, such as denitrification …

The fate of carbon sequestered in permafrost is a key concern for future global warming as
this large carbon stock is rapidly becoming a net methane source due to widespread thaw …

In the Arctic, environmental factors governing microbial degradation of soil carbon (C) in
active layer and permafrost are poorly understood. Here we determined the functional …

Most of the Earth's biosphere is characterized by low temperatures (< 5° C) and cold-
adapted microorganisms are widespread. These psychrophiles have evolved a complex …

The effect of biochar application on the net ecosystem carbon budget (NECB) and the
mechanism controlling methane (CH 4) emission in paddy soils under vegetable–rice …

Mangrove ecosystems are important methane (CH 4) sources driven by microbial activities.
Mangrove reforestation has been practiced as a strategy to restore the ecological functions …

Understating the microbial communities and ecological processes that influence their
structure in permafrost soils is crucial for predicting the consequences of climate change. In …
