Sink or Source: Alternative Roles of Glacier Foreland Meadow Soils in Methane Emission Is Regulated by Glacier Melting on the Tibetan Plateau

Glacier foreland soils have long been considered as methane (CH4) sinks. However, they are flooded by glacial meltwater annually during the glacier melting season, altering their redox potential. The impacts of this annual flooding on CH4 emission dynamics and methane-cycling microorganisms are not...
