Microbial communities associated with methane oxidation and carbon transformation in biochar-amended landfill cover soils
This project investigates microbial communities in simulated landfill cover soils amended with different biochars. The study focuses on methane oxidation, transformation of methane-derived carbon, and carbon retention in landfill cover systems under continuous methane input. Particular attention is given to methanotrophs and related microorganisms to clarify the microbial mechanisms by which biochar enhances methane mitigation and promotes carbon stabilization in cover soils.
