Subterranean ecosystems play an active role in the global carbon cycle, yet only a few studies using indirect methods have focused on the role of the cave microbiota in this critical cycle. Here we present pioneering research based on in situ real-time monitoring of CO2 and CH4 diffusive fluxes and concurrent delta C-13 geochemical tracing in caves, combined with 16S microbiome analysis. Our findings show that cave sediments are promoting ...
