Linked sediment and water‐column methanotrophy at a man‐made gas blowout in the North Sea: Implications for methane budgeting in seasonally stratified shallow�…
Large quantities of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4) are stored in the seafloor. The flux of
CH4 from the sediments into the water column and finally to the atmosphere is mitigated by
a series of microbial methanotrophic filter systems of unknown efficiency at highly active
CH4‐release sites in shallow marine settings. Here, we studied CH4‐oxidation and the
methanotrophic community at a high‐CH4‐flux site in the northern North Sea (well 22/4b),
where CH4 is continuously released since a blowout in 1990. Vigorous bubble emanation�…
