Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation activity and microbial mechanisms in Riparian zone soils of the Yulin River, a tributary of the Three Gorges Reservoir.

Riparian zones are recognized as major sources of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane (CH). Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (DAMO) has garnered growing attention due to its significant contribution to mitigating CH emissions in wetland environments. Nonetheless, the specific role and microbial mechanisms of DAMO in controlling CH release within riparian zones are still not well comprehended.
