Methane emission by soils results from antagonistic but correlated microbial activities.
Methane is produced in the anaerobic zones of submerged soils by methanogens and is …

Production and consumption processes in soils contribute to the global cycles of many trace
gases (CH4, CO, OCS, H2, N2O, and NO) that are relevant for atmospheric chemistry and …

▪ Abstract The eutrophication of many ecosystems in recent decades has led to an increased
interest in the ecology of nitrogen transformation. Chemolitho-autotrophic ammonia …

Global atmospheric methane (CH 4) concentrations are now approaching 1800 ppbv as a
result of the growing imbalance between the net CH 4 emissions from natural and …

This paper reports the range and statistical distribution of oxidation rates of atmospheric
CH4 in soils found in Northern Europe in an international study, and compares them with …

Global change can affect soil processes by either altering the functioning of existing
organisms or by restructuring the community, modifying the fundamental physiologies that …

Methane emission from a small covered landfill site showed, seasonally varying fluxes,
ranging from− 5.9 to 914.3 mg CH4 m− 2 d− 1. The moisture content of the CH4-oxidising …

Intact core samples from soils with different textures and land use were tested for their
capacity to oxidise methane. The soil cores were taken from arable land, grassland and …

For the understanding and assessment of recent and future carbon dynamics of arctic
permafrost soils the processes of CH4 production and oxidation, the community structure …

Methanotrophic and nitrifying bacteria are both able to oxidize CH4 as well as NH4+. To
date it is not possible to estimate the relative contribution of methanotrophs to nitrification …
