Effects of nitrogen addition on anaerobic oxidation of methane in Zoige Plateau peatlands

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), an important biological process to reduce global methane emissions to the atmosphere, can utilize methane as an electron donor to reduce sulfate, nitrate, nitrite, iron, manganese, AQDS (9,10-anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate), etc.; thus, AOM has been a hot topic i...
