      Methane oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) within the genus <i>Methylobacter</i> constitute the biological filter for methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) in many Arctic soils. Multiple <i>Methylobacter</i> strains have been identified in these environments but we seldom know the ecological significance of the different strains. High-Arctic peatlands in Svalbard are heavily influenced by herbivory, leading to ...
