Title: Trail Valley Creek methane cycling microbes in tundra microsites
Citation: Trail Valley Creek methane cycling microbes in tundra microsites. National Library of Medicine. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/PRJNA1282885
Study Site: Trail Valley Creek, Northwest Territories
Purpose: Atmospheric methane (CH4) uptake by arctic soils is widespread in dry tundra ecosystems. However, the environmental controls regulating CH4 uptake are poorly understood, particularly such as soil nutrient availability or microbial community composition. Here, we analyzed the relative abundance and community structure of functional gene markers associated with CH4 and mineral nitrogen (N) cycling in two contrasting tundra types in the Western Canadian Arctic using a targeted metagenomics approach.
Abstract: Arctic tundra ecosystems are source for methane. However, ecosystems have also microsite, which can uptake the atmospheric methane. This study focuses on these ecosystems either releasing or taking up methane.
