Long Term Impact of a Methane Pulse Event on a Soil Microbial Community
This work explored the effect of a simulated methane pulse event on a soil microbial community. Soil methane exposure was completed in laboratory mesocosms. Post exposure the soil microbial community was allowed to recover for 18 months. The community was sampled through time to explore its recovery to a baseline state compared to a control mesocosm (no methane exposure).
