TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the existing literature on the likely effects of the increasing salinity and inundation on organic carbon mineralization in tidal wetlands and conclude that the changing electron acceptor pattern may result in microbial sulfate reduction predominating over other carbon metabolism pathways.

TL;DR: High-throughput sequencing showed that methane production may stem from the involvement of Methanosarcina for both treatments, suggesting that conductive carbon material can promote acetoclastic methanogenesis instead of CO2 reduction in a natural environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how the rates and pathways of anaerobic organic carbon mineralization (AOCM) of tidal freshwater wetlands change with low-level increases in salinity, and investigated the rate and controls of microbial iron and sulfate reduction, methane production, and total AOCM in tidal wetlands along a freshwater to oligohaline (0.1-3.3) gradient in the Min River Estuary in southeastern China.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that conducting CNTs favor methane production and that the mechanism involved is acetoclastic methanogenesis via acetate dismutation, at least partly, rather than classical CO2 reduction.

TL;DR: In this paper, soil samples with a depth profile were collected from a wetland in the Yellow River Delta (YRD), in which a special red clay horizon (RCH) widely exists.
