Short summary
The present study investigated the vertical profiles of sediment methanogenic potential and communities in two plateau freshwater lakes. Hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis was the major methane production pathway in the freshwater lakes. Lake trophic status was found to influence sediment methanogen community and activity. This work could provide some new insights into methane production in freshwater sediment ecosystem.
