sequesters significant carbon in the global system and is stable only over a range of low …

Effects of climate change on methane emissions from seafloor sediments in the Arctic Ocean: A review

RH James, P Bousquet, I Bussmann… - Limnology and …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Large quantities of methane are stored in hydrates and permafrost within shallow marine
sediments in the Arctic Ocean. These reservoirs are highly sensitive to climate warming, but …

Aerobic oxidation of methane significantly reduces global diffusive methane emissions from shallow marine waters

SH Mao, HH Zhang, GC Zhuang, XJ Li, Q Liu… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Methane is supersaturated in surface seawater and shallow coastal waters dominate global

Aerobic gammaproteobacterial methanotrophs mitigate methane emissions from oxic and anoxic lake waters

K Oswald, J Milucka, A Brand, P Hach… - Limnology and …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Freshwater lakes represent a substantial natural source of methane to the atmosphere and
thus contribute to global climate change. Microbial methane oxidation is an important control …

Larval behaviour, dispersal and population connectivity in the deep sea

SF Gary, AD Fox, A Biastoch, JM Roberts… - Scientific reports, 2020 - nature.com
Ecosystem connectivity is an essential consideration for marine spatial planning of
competing interests in the deep sea. Immobile, adult communities are connected through …

B Ferré, PG Jansson, M Moser, P Serov, A Portnov… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Large amounts of methane are trapped within gas hydrate in subseabed sediments in the
Arctic Ocean, and bottom-water warming may induce the release of methane from the …

Seepage from an arctic shallow marine gas hydrate reservoir is insensitive to momentary ocean warming

WL Hong, ME Torres, JL Carroll, A Crémière… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Arctic gas hydrate reservoirs located in shallow water and proximal to the sediment-water
interface are thought to be sensitive to bottom water warming that may trigger gas hydrate …
