Oxidation by soil bacteria is the only biological sink for atmospheric methane (CH4). There are substantial uncertainties regarding the global size of this sink, in part because the ecological controls of the involved processes are not well understood to date. We have investigated effects of severe summer drought and of nitrogen inputs (ammonium nitrate or cattle urine) on soil CH4 fluxes in a field experiment. Soil moisture was the most important factor regulating the temporal dynamics of CH4… Expand
