Decreased Snow Cover Stimulates Under-Ice Primary Producers but Impairs Methanotrophic Capacity

ABSTRACT Climate change scenarios anticipate decreased spring snow cover in boreal and subarctic regions. Forest lakes are abundant in these regions and substantial contributors of methane emissions. To investigate the effect of reduced snow cover, we experimentally removed snow from an anoxic froze...
