Changes in CH4 production during different stages of litter decomposition under inundation and N addition

Long‐term nitrogen addition modifies microbial composition and functions for slow carbon cycling and increased sequestration in tropical forest soil

“…Accelerated methanogenesis could be partially attributed to increased C availability; we found that labile C (DOC) had a strong direct effect on the mcrA gene and CH 4 flux (Figure 3c). This agrees with previous reports that labile C pool fuels the activity of methanogenic populations, resulting in increased CH 4 emissions (Dorodnikov, Knorr, Kuzyakov, & Wilmking, 2011;Lu, Lueders, Friedrich, & Conrad, 2005;Zheng et al, 2017).…”
