Microbial Community Structure and Methane Cycling Potential along a Thermokarst Pond-Peatland Continuum

Microbial Community Structure and Methane Cycling Potential along a Thermokarst Pond-Peatland Continuum

The thawing of ice-rich permafrost soils in northern peatlands leads to the formation of thermokarst ponds, surrounded by organic-rich soils. These aquatic ecosystems are sites of intense microbial activity, and CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> emissions. Many of the pond sy...
