Methane-eating microbes

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 30 March 2020; doi:10.1038/s41558-020-0736-x

Future Arctic methane emissions depend partly on interactions between soil carbon released during permafrost thaw and microbial physiology. Now, a model shows potential increased methane produced from thawing permafrost carbon could be offset by increased consumption by upland methanotrophs.
