Methane-Oxidizing Communities in Lichen-Dominated Forested Tundra Are Composed Exclusively of High-Affinity USCα Methanotrophs

Upland soils of tundra function as a constant sink for atmospheric CH<sub>4</sub> but the identity of methane oxidizers in these soils remains poorly understood. Methane uptake rates of −0.4 to −0.6 mg CH<sub>4</sub>-C m<sup>−2</sup> day<sup>−1</sup> w...
