Active Anaerobic Methane Oxidation in the Groundwater Table Fluctuation Zone of Rice Paddies

Rice paddies are globally important sources of methane emissions and also active regions for methane consumption. However, the impact of fluctuating groundwater levels on methane cycling has received limited attention. In this study, we delved into the activity and microbial mechanisms underlying anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in paddy fields. A comprehensive approach was employed, including
