Variations in the archaeal community and associated methanogenesis in peat profiles of three typical peatland types in China

Abstract Background Peatlands contain about 500 Pg of carbon worldwide and play a dual role as both a carbon sink and an important methane (CH4) source, thereby potentially influencing climate change. However, systematic studies on peat properties, microorganisms, methanogenesis, and their interrela...
