Table 1 Correlation coefficients between CH4 fluxes and methanogenic archaea and methanotrophic bacteria in the upper and lower soil layers across the crop season.

From: Methane mitigation is associated with reduced abundance of methanogenic and methanotrophic communities in paddy soils continuously sub-irrigated with treated wastewater
