Deskripsi
Archaea in marine sediment control the transfer of methane to the ocean, but microbial dynamics in these environments are poorly understood. Here the authors investigate marine sediments in the high Arctic, showing how methane influx quickly increases abundances of methane-consuming archaea and decreases total microbial community diversity.
