Potential rates of both methane production and methane consumptionvary over three orders
of magnitude and their distribution is skew. These rates are weakly correlated with …

Peatlands occupy a relatively small fraction of the Earth's land area, but they are a globally
important carbon store because of their high carbon density. Undisturbed peatlands are …

The carbon balance of peatlands is predicted to shift from a sink to a source this century.
However, peatland ecosystems are still omitted from the main Earth system models that are …

While wetlands are the largest natural source of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, they
represent a large source of uncertainty in the global CH4 budget due to the complex …

Belowground climate change responses remain a key unknown in the Earth system. Plant
fine-root response is especially important to understand because fine roots respond quickly …

Methane (CH4) emissions from the boreal and arctic region are globally significant and
highly sensitive to climate change. There is currently a wide range in estimates of high …

Methane emissions from boreal and arctic wetlands, lakes, and rivers are expected to
increase in response to warming and associated permafrost thaw. However, the lack of …

Methane (CH 4) emissions from the northern high‐latitude region represent potentially
significant biogeochemical feedbacks to the climate system. We compiled a database of …

Ecosystems along the 0° C mean annual isotherm are arguably among the most sensitive to
changing climate and mires in these regions emit significant amounts of the important …

Methane emissions from natural wetlands constitute the largest methane source at present
and depend highly on the climate. In order to investigate the response of methane emissions …
