Recurrence and frequency of disturbance have cumulative effect on methanotrophic activity, abundance, and community structure.
Alternate prolonged drought and heavy rainfall is predicted to intensify with global warming. Desiccation-rewetting events alter the soil quality and nutrient concentrations which drive microbial-mediated processes, including methane oxidation, a key biogeochemical process catalyzed by methanotrophi...
