Methane Cycling Microbial Communities in Natural and Drained Sites of Taldom Peatland, Moscow Region, Russia

Irina Kravchenko, Anna Kizilova, Ekaterina Menko & Andrey Sirin · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2014

Aims: Drainage of peatlands is known to decrease overall CH4 emission, but the effect on methane cycling microbes is poorly described. For this reason we aimed to reveal the differences in methanogenic and methanotrophic communities between pristine peatlands and its counterpart...
