Biogeochemical coupling of C/Fe in oil-polluted wetlands associated with iron reduction

Abstract Oil contamination in coastal wetlands jeopardizes these ecosystems and worsens climate warming. Here we analyze 87 metagenomic samples from representative Chinese wetland oilfields and find that genes associated with dissimilatory iron reduction respond to hydrocarbon levels. These genes we...
