Small differences in ombrotrophy control regional-scale variation in methane cycling among Sphagnum-dominated peatlands

C Zalman, JK Keller, M Tfaily, M Kolton… - Biogeochemistry, 2018 - Springer
Although methane (CH 4) dynamics are known to differ at broad scales among peatland
types and with climate, there is limited understanding of the variability associated with …

CH4, CO2 and N2O emissions from grasslands and bovine excreta in two intensive tropical dairy production systems

JE Rivera, J Chará, R Barahona - Agroforestry Systems, 2019 - Springer
The production of beef and milk has a significant impact on climate change, as these
activities are responsible for a large proportion of the greenhouse gases emitted in …

Methylotrophic methanogenesis in Sphagnum-dominated peatland soils

CA Zalman, N Meade, J Chanton, JE Kostka… - Soil Biology and …, 2018 - Elsevier
Although it is generally assumed that CH 4 production in peatlands is dominated by the
acetoclastic and hydrogenotrophic methanogenic pathways, we found evidence that …

Peatland types influence the inhibitory effects of a humic substance analog on methane production

R Ye, JK Keller, Q Jin, BJM Bohannan, SD Bridgham - Geoderma, 2016 - Elsevier
Methane (CH 4) production is often impeded in many northern peatland soils, even though
