Novel Methanotrophs of the Family Methylococcaceae from Different Geographical Regions and Habitats [PDF]
Terrestrial methane seeps and rice paddy fields are important ecosystems in the methane cycle. Methanotrophic bacteria in these ecosystems play a key role in reducing methane emission into the atmosphere.

The Microbiome and Occurrence of Methanotrophy in Carnivorous Sponges [PDF]
As shown by recent studies, filter-feeding sponges are known to host a wide variety of microorganisms. However, the microbial community of the non-filtering carnivorous sponges (Porifera, Cladorhizidae) has been the subject of less scrutiny. Here, we present the results from a comparative study of the methanotrophic carnivorous sponge Cladorhiza ...

Holocene variations in peatland methane cycling associated with the Asian summer monsoon system [PDF]
Atmospheric methane concentrations decreased during the early to middle Holocene; however, the governing mechanisms remain controversial. Although it has been suggested that the mid-Holocene minimum methane emissions are associated with hydrological ...

The origin, source and cycling of methane in deep crystalline rock biosphere
The emerging interest in using stable bedrock formations for industrial purposes, e.g. nuclear waste disposal, has increased the need for understanding microbiological and geochemical processes in deep crystalline rock environments, including the carbon ...

Verrucomicrobia are a group of microorganisms that have been proposed to be deeply rooted in the Tree of Life. Some are methanotrophs that oxidize the potent greenhouse gas methane and are thus important in decreasing atmospheric concentrations of the ...

Evening Methane Emission Pulses from a Boreal Wetland Correspond to Convective Mixing in Hollows [PDF]
Spatial and temporal heterogeneity of methane flux from boreal wetlands makes prediction and up-scaling challenging, both within and among wetland systems.

Abstract Rapid permafrost thaw in peatlands transforms the subarctic landscape into a mosaic of ponds and peat soil, varying in moisture, carbon and nutrients, and time since thaw. As subarctic permafrost degrades, ponds emerge and mature and can gradually infill with Sphagnum peat.

Mechanistic Modeling of Microtopographic Impacts on CO2 and CH4 Fluxes in an Alaskan Tundra Ecosystem Using the CLM-Microbe Model [PDF]
Spatial heterogeneities in soil hydrology have been confirmed as a key control on CO2 and CH4 fluxes in the Arctic tundra ecosystem. In this study, we applied a mechanistic ecosystem model, CLM-Microbe, to examine the microtopographic impacts on CO2 and ...
