Coexistence patterns of soil methanogens are closely tied to methane generation and community assembly in rice paddies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Soil methanogens participate in complex interactions, which determine the community structures and functions. Studies continue to seek the coexistence patterns of soil methanogens, influencing factors and the contribution to methane (CH₄) production, which are regulated primarily by species interactions, and the functional significance of these interactions. Here, methane emissions were measured in rice paddies across the Asian continent, and the complex interactions involved in coexistence patterns of methanogenic archaeal communities were represented as pairwise links in co-occurrence networks.

Results

The network topological properties, which were positively correlated with mean annual temperature, were the most important predictor of CH₄
