Acetoclastic and hydrogenotrophic methane production and methanogenic populations in an acidic West-Siberian peat bog

Summary Sites in the West Siberian peat bog ‘Bakchar’ were acidic (pH 4.2–4.8), low in nutrients, and emitted CH4 at rates of 0.2–1.5 mmol m−2 h−1. The vertical profile of δ13CH4 and δ13CO2 dissolved in the porewater indicated increasing isotope fractionation and thus increasing contribution of H2/C...
