Emmanuelle Roy, Sandani A. Buddhima, Henry Gibbons, Maria Strack, Laura A. Hug
The paper examines methanotroph dynamics in landfill cover soils, finding that high methane emission sites show strong enrichment of methanotrophs, particularly Methylomicrobium, and that microbial diversity correlates with nitrate and nitrite levels.
