Methane oxidation associated with submerged brown mosses reduces methane emissions from Siberian polygonal tundra

1. Methane (CH4) oxidation (methanotrophy) associated with submerged brown moss species occurs in polygonal tundra environments of the Siberian Arctic. Methanotrophic bacteria living in close association with mosses are thus not restricted to Sphagnum species and low‐pH peatlands.
