Production, oxidation, emission and consumption of methane by soils: a review
J Le Mer, P Roger - European journal of soil biology, 2001 - Elsevier
Methane emission by soils results from antagonistic but correlated microbial activities.
Methane is produced in the anaerobic zones of submerged soils by methanogens and is …

Abiotic stresses and induced BVOCs
Plants produce a wide spectrum of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) in various
tissues above and below ground to communicate with other plants and organisms. However …

Long‐distance transport of gases in plants: a perspective on internal aeration and radial oxygen loss from roots
TD Colmer - Plant, Cell & Environment, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Internal transport of gases is crucial for vascular plants inhabiting aquatic, wetland or flood‐
prone environments. Diffusivity of gases in water is approximately 10 000 times slower than …

Atmospheric methane and global change
Methane (CH4) is the most abundant organic trace gas in the atmosphere. In the distant
past, variations in natural sources of methane were responsible for trends in atmospheric …

An agronomic assessment of greenhouse gas emissions from major cereal crops
Agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contribute approximately 12% to total global
anthropogenic GHG emissions. Cereals (rice, wheat, and maize) are the largest source of …

Plant root growth, architecture and function
Without roots there would be no rhizosphere and no rhizodeposition to fuel microbial activity.
Although micro-organisms may view roots merely as a source of carbon supply this belies …

Formation of aerenchyma and the processes of plant ventilation in relation to soil flooding and submergence
Enhanced development of gas-spaces beyond that due to the partial cell separation
normally found in ground parenchymas and their derivatives creates tissue commonly …

Potential benefits of liming to acid soils on climate change mitigation and food security
Globally, about 50% of all arable soils are classified as acidic. As crop and plant growth are
significantly hampered under acidic soil conditions, many farmers, but increasingly as well …

Aerenchyma formation
DE Evans - New phytologist, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Aerenchyma–tissue containing enlarged gas spaces–occurs in many plants. It is formed
either as part of normal development, or in response to stress (eg hypoxia). Two …
