Abstract

We addressed how restoration of forestry-drained peatlands affects CH(4)-cycling microbes. Despite similar community compositions, the abundance of methanogens and methanotrophs was lower in restored than in natural sites and correlated with CH(4) emission. Poor establishment of methanogens may thus explain low CH(4) emissions on restored peatlands even 10 to 12 years after restoration.
