The methane cold seeps near Pomonte (Elba) are unique ecosystems situated in very shallow and porous coastal sands. We investigated the influence on hydrodynamics on microbial community structure and function. Understanding these ecosystems is important to estimate their role in carbon cycling and their emission of methane to the atmosphere.Sampling Description
