The Effect of Nitrogen Enrichment on C1-Cycling Microorganisms and Methane Flux in Salt Marsh Sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Methane (CH4) flux from ecosystems is driven by C1-cycling microorganisms – the methanogens and the methylotrophs. Little is understood about what regulates these communities, complicating predictions about how global change drivers such as nitrogen ...

Morphological constraints on plant‐mediated methane release and oxidation under experimental warming in a peatland and meadow on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3571-3585, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Alpine meadows and peatlands on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau, respectively, act as sinks and sources of atmospheric CH4. Yet, little is known about plant‐mediated CH4 fluxes in these ecosystems.

Water column methanotrophy controlled by a rapid oceanographic switch [PDF]

Nature Geoscience, 2015
Large amounts of the greenhouse gas methane are released from the seabed to the water column1, where it may be consumed by aerobic methanotrophic bacteria2. The size and activity of methanotrophic communities, which determine the amount of methane consumed in the water column, are thought to be mainly controlled by nutrient and redox dynamics3–7. Here,

Resistance and Recovery of Methane-Oxidizing Communities Depends on Stress Regime and History; A Microcosm Study

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Although soil microbes are responsible for important ecosystem functions, and soils are under increasing environmental pressure, little is known about their resistance and resilience to multiple stressors.

Methane paradox in tropical lakes? Sedimentary fluxes rather than pelagic production in oxic conditions sustain methanotrophy and emissions to the atmosphere

Biogeosciences, 2020
. Despite growing evidence that methane (CH4) formation could also occur in well-oxygenated surface fresh waters, its significance at the ecosystem scale is uncertain. Empirical models based on data gathered at high latitude predict that the contribution

Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Results in Persistent Microbial‐Level Disturbances on Coral Reef Ecosystems

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
Reef microbiomes before the arrival of stony coral tissue loss disease (vulnerable stage) during the outbreak (epidemic) and after (endemic). Microbial diversity, network metrics, and functional potential varied among apparently healthy corals and the surrounding water and sediments across the stages.

A Genome-Scale Metabolic Model for Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) Suggests Reduced Efficiency Electron Transfer to the Particulate Methane Monooxygenase

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Background: Genome-scale metabolic models allow researchers to calculate yields, to predict consumption and production rates, and to study the effect of genetic modifications in silico, without running resource-intensive experiments.

Draft genome sequence of uncultured upland soil cluster gammaproteobacteria gives molecular insights into high-affinity methanotrophy [PDF]

, 2017
Aerated soils form the second largest sink for atmospheric CH₄. A nearcomplete genome of uncultured upland soil cluster Gammaproteobacteria that oxidize CH₄ at 2.5 ppmv was obtained from incubated Antarctic mineral cryosols.

Winter Methane Fluxes Over Boreal and Arctic Environments

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 21, 16 November 2025.
Abstract Unprecedented warming of Arctic–boreal regions (ABR) has poorly understood consequences on carbon cycle processes. Limited winter data add uncertainty to annual methane (CH4) budgets. In this study, winter CH4 flux measurements were conducted using the snowpack diffusion gradient method over five ABR ecosystem types in Canada and Finland ...
