Biological methane oxidation is a crucial process in the global carbon cycle that reduces
methane emissions from paddy fields and natural wetlands into the atmosphere. However,
soil organic carbon accumulation associated with microbial methane oxidation is poorly
understood. Therefore, to investigate methane-derived carbon incorporation into soil organic
matter, paddy soils originated from different parent materials (Inceptisol, Entisol, and Alfisol)
were collected after rice harvesting from four major rice-producing regions in Bangladesh …
