Spatial patterns of iron- and methane-oxidizing bacterial communities in an irregularly flooded, riparian wetland

Iron- and methane-cycling are important processes in wetlands with one connected to plant growth and the other to greenhouse gas emission, respectively. In contrast to acidic habitats, there is scarce information on the ecology of microbes oxidizing ferrous iron at circum-neutral pH. The latter is m...
