Active Methanotrophs in Suboxic Alpine Swamp Soils of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Methanotrophs are the only biofilters for reducing the flux of global methane (CH4) emissions in water-logged wetlands. However, adaptation of aerobic methanotrophs to low concentrations of oxygen and nitrogen in typical swamps, such as that of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, is poorly understood. In t...
