TLDR
The gas push-pull test (GPPT) is considered as a possible method to quantify oxidation rates in situ and does not require expensive equipment besides standard laboratory gas chromatographs to be simple in operation.

Above- and below-ground methane fluxes and methanotrophic activity in a landfill-cover soil.

TL;DR: On a section of a closed landfill near Liestal, Switzerland, experiments to compare CH(4) fluxes obtained by different methods at or above the cover-soil surface with below-ground fluxes are performed, and to link methanotrophic activity to estimates of CH( 4) ingress (loading) from the waste body at selected locations are performed.

Improved quantification of microbial CH 4 oxidation efficiency in arctic wetland soils using carbon isotope fractionation

TL;DR: In this article, stable isotope signatures of CH 4 were measured and the fractionation factors for the processes of oxidation (α ox ) and diffusion (α diff ) were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and function of methanotrophic communities in a landfill-cover soil

TL;DR: The findings indicate that Methylosarcina and closely related MOB are key players and that MOB abundance and community structure are driving factors in CH(4) oxidation at this landfill.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal variability of soil gas composition in landfill covers

TL;DR: It was shown that at diffusion-dominated sites complete methane oxidation was achieved even under adverse wintry conditions, whereas at hotspots, even under favorable dry and warm conditions, aerobic biological activity can be limited to the upper crust of the soil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Field-scale tracking of active methane-oxidizing communities in a landfill cover soil reveals spatial and seasonal variability

TL;DR: It is proposed that high diversity of active MOB communities in this soil is promoted by high variability in environmental conditions, facilitating substantial removal of CH4 generated in the waste body.

Carbon and hydrogen isotope systematics of bacterial formation and oxidation of methane

TL;DR: In this paper, the major dissolved carbon species in diagenetic settings are represented by the two carbon redox endmembers CH4 and CO2, and they can be tracked with the aid of carbon ( 13 C / 12 C ) and hydrogen ( D/H≡ 2 H/ 1 H ) isotopes.

Methane mass balance at three landfill sites: what is the efficiency of capture by gas collection systems?

TL;DR: The overall methane mass balance in field cells with a variety of designs, cover materials, and gas management strategies was assessed, and defaults for percent recovery were used as the basis for guidelines by the French environment agency.

Single‐Well, “Push‐Pull” Test for In Situ Determination of Microbial Activities

TL;DR: In this article, a single-well, push-pull test method is proposed for the in situ determination of microbial metabolic activities in ground-water aquifers, which consists of the pulse-type injection (push) of a test solution into the saturated zone of an aquifer through the screen of an existing monitoring well followed by the extraction (pull) of the test solution/ground-water mixture from the same well.
