Tidal and seasonal influence on cold seep activity and methanotroph efficiency in the North Sea
Abstract The ocean’s methane emission to the atmosphere is dominated by continental shelves where cold seeps are globally common features. Seeps emit methane into the hydrosphere, but temporal variations and controls of seep activity and the efficiency of the microbial methane filter in the water co...
