Vertical distribution of methane oxidation and methanotrophic response to elevated methane concentrations in stratified waters of the Arctic fjord Storfjorden (Svalbard, Norway)
The bacterially mediated aerobic methane oxidation (MO<sub>x</sub>) is a key mechanism in controlling methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) emissions from the world's oceans to the atmosphere. In this study, we investigated MO<sub>x</sub> in the Arctic fjord Storfjorden (...
