Irrigated and rain-fed rice fields are unique agroecosystems and anthropogenic wetlands
whose main feature is seasonal flooding. Flooded soils are characterized by spatiotemporal …

Globally, reducing carbon emissions and mitigating soil heavy metal pollution pose pressing
challenges. We evaluated the effects of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) contamination in the …

Aerobic methanotrophs are a specialized microbial group, catalyzing the oxidation of
methane. Disturbance-induced loss of methanotroph diversity/abundance, thus results in the …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) secreted by microorganisms cause constructed
wetlands (CWs) clogging, which is a major challenge for the long-term stable operation of …

Altering the function of a mixed microbial community through specific microorganisms is a
challenge. In this study, we constructed different co-culture systems to not only elucidate the …

Conventional aerobic methanotrophs oxidize methane (CH4) and covert CH4-derived
carbon (C) into biomass at the oxic-anoxic interface of inundated rice paddy fields, playing …

Methane, the primary substrate for aerobic methanotrophs, regulates the rate of
methanotrophic activity and shapes the composition of the methane-oxidizing community …

As an essential element for plants, animals, and humans, selenium (Se) has been shown to
participate in microbial methane oxidation. We studied the growth response and rhizosphere …

Introduction Rice production is the core component of the food security strategy in China, but
it is also a major source of methane and nitrous oxide. Promoting low-carbon rice farming …

Background and aims There is still limited knowledge regarding the dynamics of soil
microbial community structures and functional groups during forest secondary succession …
