Methanotrophic activity and diversity in different <i>Sphagnum magellanicum</i> dominated habitats in the southernmost peat bogs of Patagonia
<i>Sphagnum</i> peatlands are important ecosystems in the methane cycle. Methanotrophs living inside the dead hyaline cells or on the <i>Sphagnum</i> mosses are able to act as a methane filter and thereby reduce methane emissions. We investigated in situ methane concentration...
