Methane production potentials, pathways, and communities of methanogens in vertical sediment profiles of river Sitka

Biological methanogenesis is linked to permanent water logged systems, e.g. rice field soils or lake sediments. In these systems the methanogenic community as well as the pathway of methane formation are well described. By contrast, the methanogenic potential of river sediments is so far not well in...
