Investigating the ecological controls on methane production in a riparian cottonwood forest and adjacent river
… in the Oldman River sediment and adjacent riparian cottonwood tree stems in southern Alberta. Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content in tree stems and river sediment environments were measured, while molecular genetic techniques and stable carbon isotope measurements were used to explore the …
