  1. The table contains only the correlations with p < 0.05 (Bonferroni corrected) and r > |0.5 | (correlation coefficient). No correlations among GHG fluxes and copies of 16S rRNA or gene/16S ratios were found (n = 30). Abbreviations are mcrA – methyl coenzyme M reductase subunit alpha, nifH – nitrogenase, and nirK – copper-containing nitrite reductase.
