Wetland conversion to cropland substantially reduces methane (CH4) emission, turning a source into a sink on many occasions; how various microbial processes contribute to this source-to-sink transition remains elusive. We addressed this issue by examining the net CH4flux, CH4production potential, CH4oxidation potential, and functional genes associated with methanogenesis and methanotrophy in a pristine wetland and a 23-year cultivated cropland in the Sanjiang Plain, China. The study confirmed that wetland conversion to cropland turned a CH4source of 44.93 ± 10.17 g CH4·m−2·yr−1to a small CH4sink of −0.056 ± 0.051 g·CH4m−2·yr−1. The proportion of total CH4-related genes, methanogenesis genes, as well as the CH4production marker genes –mcrwere significantly decreased by 24.14 %, 32.10 %, and 97.89 %, respectively in cropland. The proportions of methanotrophic marker genes,pMMO,and the sum ofsMMOandpMMOwere significantly increased by 48.74 % and 22.79 % after wetland cultivation. The 23-year cultivation yielded suppressing impacts on methanogenesis andmcrgenes throughout the four seasons while stimulating effects on the functional genes ofsMMO,pMMO,andMMOin spring and summer. The proportions of CH4-related genes decreased along soil depth in wetland and cropland, whilepMMOandMMOslightly increased in the depth of 20–60 cm in cropland. A global synthesis supported this microbial mechanism for the CH4source-to-sink transition, indicating the strong methanogenesis suppression and slight methanotrophy enhancement in explaining the source-to-sink transition after wetland conversion to cropland. This mechanism should be incorporated into CH4models to predict CH4dynamics under land-use change.
