Predominance of methanogens over methanotrophs in rewetted fens characterized by high methane emissions
<p>The rewetting of drained peatlands alters peat geochemistry and often leads to sustained elevated methane emission. Although this methane is produced entirely by microbial activity, the distribution and abundance of methane-cycling microbes in rewetted peatlands, especially in fens, is r...
