Microbial communities of methane seeps in shallow, porous sands off Elba

Dataset homepage

Citation

MGnify (2019). Microbial communities of methane seeps in shallow, porous sands off Elba. Sampling event dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/img23l accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-02-02.

Description

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.
