Technical note: Manipulating interactions between plant stress responses and soil methane oxidation rates

<p>It has recently been hypothesised that ethylene, released into soil by stressed plants, reduces the oxidation of methane by methanotroph. To test this, a field trial was established in which maize plants were grown with and without soil moisture stress, and the effects of addition aminoe...
