Microorganisms are physiologically diverse, possessing disparate genomic features and
mechanisms for adaptation (functional traits), which reflect on their associated life strategies …

New soil organic matter (SOM) models highlight the role of microorganisms in plant litter
decomposition and storage of microbial-derived carbon (C) molecules. Wetlands store more …

Soils serve as the biological sink of the potent greenhouse gas methane with exceptionally
low concentrations of∼ 1.84 ppmv in the atmosphere. The as-yet-uncultivated methane …

Elevated global temperatures and increased concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the
atmosphere associated with climate change will exert profound effects on rice crop** …

Introduction Rapidly advancing technologies and accumulating information about microbial
communities across the globe allow the quantification of microbial properties and functions …

The communities and abundances of methanotrophs and methanogens, along with the
oxygen, methane, and total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations, were investigated along a …

Methane emissions, along with methanotrophs and methanogens and soil chemical
properties, were investigated in a flooded rice ecosystem. Methane emission increased after …

Maritime transportation is recognized to have advantages in terms of environmental impact
compared to other forms of transportation. However, an increment in traffic volumes will also …

Rice paddies are considerable sources of methane because of the highly reduced soil
oxidation–reduction conditions during rice cultivation. In this ecosystem, active methane …

Aerobic methane oxidizing bacteria play a key role in controlling global climate by reducing
methane (CH 4) emissions in natural ecosystems. We studied the community assembly …
