Effects of nitrogen load on the function and diversity of methanotrophs in the littoral wetland of a boreal lake
Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. A major part of the total methane emissions from lake ecosystems are emitted from littoral wetlands. Methane emissions are significantly reduced by methanotrophs as they use methane as the sole energy and carbon source. Function o...
