Biological methane oxidation is a crucial process in the global carbon cycling to reduce methane emissions into the atmosphere and thus mitigate soil carbon loss in the hotspots of methanogenesis from
Previous experimental evidence exists about atmospheric methane uptake in paddy soils. However, the importance of methanotrophic community composition to atmospheric methane oxidation and the biogeogr

Based on Illumina sequencing 16S rRNA genes, a greater propagation of type II over type I methanotrophs was observed in YX, YT and TY soils, whereas the reversed consequence was shown in ZY, CS and LZ
