Methane is an abundant gas used in energy recovery systems, heating, and transport.
Methanotrophs are bacteria capable of using methane as their sole carbon source. Although …

Flooded rice paddies are one of the major biogenic sources of atmospheric methane. Apart
from this contribution to the 'greenhouse'effect, rice paddy soil represents a suitable model …

Submerged soils and the wetlands they support are of huge practical importance: in global
element cycles, as centres of biodiversity, in global food production. They are also uniquely …

It is our opinion that the nomenclature used to define geochemical environments is
