Methanogen and Methanotroph Population Patterns and the Impact on CH4 Fluxes

Wetland ecosystems are considered to be the most significant and prolific natural methane (CH4) sources. CH4 has been constantly flowing in and out of such regions (flux), and that flow fluctuates in a periodic manner. Methanotrophs (methane consumers) and methanogens (methane producers) are microorganisms that impact CH4 fluxes in wetlands.
