Drivers of methane-cycling archaeal abundances, community structure, and catabolic pathways in continental margin sediments

Marine sediments contain Earth’s largest reservoir of methane, with most of this methane being produced and consumed in situ by methane-cycling archaea. While numerous studies have investigated communities of methane-cycling archaea in hydrocarbon seeps and sulfate–methane transition zones, less is...
