Vertical profiles of sediment methanogenic potential and communities in two plateau freshwater lakes

Microbial methanogenesis in sediment plays a crucial role in CH<sub>4</sub> emission from freshwater lake ecosystems. However, knowledge of the layer-depth-related changes of methanogen community structure and activities in freshwater lake sediment is still limited. The present study was...
