Northern peatland microbial communities exhibit resistance to warming and acquire electron acceptors from soil organic matter

Climate change is expected to impact microbes degrading organic matter in northern peatlands. Here, using a warming experiment, the authors show that communities remain stable after three years of warming, likely due to metabolic versatility and an ability to obtain electron acceptors from organic matter cleavage.

The rise and fall of methanotrophy following a deepwater oil-well blowout

The blowout of the Macondo oil well in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010 injected up to 500,000 tonnes of natural gas, mainly methane, into the deep sea. Spatially extensive measurements of methane dynamics in the months following the spill reveal a rapid rise and fall in the microbial consumption of methane.

Massive peatland carbon banks vulnerable to rising temperatures

One-third of Earth’s carbon is sequestered in peatlands, and its stability in the face of climate change is unknown. Here the authors show that warming leads to the release of carbon as methane, but only the most prolonged warming leads to the breakdown and release of deep, old carbon.

Discovery of a novel methanogen prevalent in thawing permafrost

The microbes responsible for releasing the potent greenhouse gas methane from thawing permafrost remain largely unknown. Mondav and Woodcroft et al. investigate methane flux across a thaw gradient in Sweden and recover a near-complete genome of the dominant methanogen Candidatus ‘Methanoflorens stordalenmirensis’.

Stability of peatland carbon to rising temperatures

Peatlands store large quantities of carbon, yet their response to deep warming remains unexplored. Here, Wilsonet al. perform large scale ecosystem manipulation to reveal deep peat heating exponentially increases CH₄emissions due to surface processes, but that deep carbon remains relatively stable.

Tropical peatland carbon storage linked to global latitudinal trends in peat recalcitrance

Large peatlands exist at high latitudes because flooded conditions and cold temperatures slow decomposition, so the presence of (sub)tropical peat is enigmatic. Here the authors show that low-latitude peat is preserved due to lower carbohydrate and greater aromatic content resulting in chemical recalcitrance.

Methane bubbling from Siberian thaw lakes as a positive feedback to climate warming

Lakes formed by thawing of frozen ground in North Siberia emit methane through bubbling. Now this flux has been quantified, revealing that it may be five times higher than previously thought, requiring current estimates of methane emissions from northern wetlands to be increased by 10–63%.

Expert assessment of future vulnerability of the global peatland carbon sink

Peatlands are impacted by climate and land-use changes, with feedback to warming by acting as either sources or sinks of carbon. Expert elicitation combined with literature review reveals key drivers of change that alter peatland carbon dynamics, with implications for improving models.

The abundance of key microbial lineages can be used to predict atmospherically relevant patterns in methane isotopes and the proportion of carbon metabolized to methane during permafrost thaw, suggesting that microbial ecology may be important in ecosystem-scale responses to global change.

A process-based carbon isotope biogeochemistry model substantially reduces uncertainty in regional and global estimates of the stable carbon isotopic composition of methane emissions from wetlands and suggests rising atmospheric concentrations are due to increased microbial emissions.
