Methane stimulates massive nitrogen loss from freshwater reservoirs in India

The fate of anthropogenic nitrogen (N) remains understudied in South Asian water bodies despite its impact on water chemistry and quality. Here the authors show that N loss in Indian freshwater reservoirs is tightly coupled to methanotrophy, which has helped curb eutrophication and greenhouse gas em...

Sumario:The fate of anthropogenic nitrogen (N) remains understudied in South Asian water bodies despite its impact on water chemistry and quality. Here the authors show that N loss in Indian freshwater reservoirs is tightly coupled to methanotrophy, which has helped curb eutrophication and greenhouse gas emissions.
