Sub-oxycline methane oxidation can fully uptake CH4 produced in sediments: case study of a lake in Siberia
It is commonly assumed that methane (CH4) released by lakes into the atmosphere is mainly produced in anoxic sediment and transported by diffusion or ebullition through the water column to the surface of the lake. In contrast to that prevailing idea, it has been gradually established that the epilim...
