Methanogen community and activity in Canadian high Arctic soils in response to global warming

Recent modeling indicates that up to 90 % of the top 3 m of Arctic permafrost will melt by 2090 as a result of climate change. This thawing is predicted to expand anaerobic environments and provide previously frozen carbon stores for microbial decomposition. This may favour methanogen production of...
