The paper examines methane cycling microbial communities in riparian buffer systems during methane flux hot moments, finding that methanogen activity varies with soil type and water content.

The paper measures methane flux and microbial communities across land use changes in Amazonia, finding that pasture soils emit methane while forests act as sinks, with microbial shifts driving these changes.

This study shows that converting rainforest to pasture in the Brazilian Amazon increases soil methanogenesis, with pastures acting as methane sources and secondary rainforests as sinks.
