Title: Key processes in GHG production and consumption
Citation: Bhatti, J. & Startsev, N. (2012). Key processes in GHG production and consumption. NWT Discovery Portal. https://nwtdiscoveryportal.enr.gov.nt.ca/geoportal/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B94F1F5B4-2707-485F-BFAE-F2FE09BBB4AC%7D
Study Site: Inuvik, Norman Wells, Fort Simpson, Anzac
Purpose: To measure in vitro MBM: methanogenesis, methane oxidation, CO2 evolution. To find the most appropriate methods to do so. To compare methods of microbial biomass evaluation in acidic organic substrates. To calibrate MBM measurement methods used.
Abstract: Collecting samples from two sites (2007) and after method development, expanding to the full-scale study with samples collected with replications from all four sites Measuring methane production at optimal (2o and 4o C) and sub-optimal (12o and 14o C) temperature, and at optimal temperature (2 o C) with intermittent freezing. Measuring methane oxidation Microbial biomass using fumigation-incubation method
