Methane is the final product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. The
conversion of organic matter to methane (methanogenesis) as a mechanism for energy …

Methane (CH4) is produced in many natural systems that are vulnerable to change under a
warming climate, yet current CH4 budgets, as well as future shifts in CH4 emissions, have …

The Greenhouse effect is a leading factor in kee** the Earth warm because it keeps some
of the planet's heat that would otherwise escape from the atmosphere out to space. The …

Understanding the dynamics of methane (CH 4) emissions is of paramount importance
because CH 4 has 25 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and is …

Wetlands are the largest natural source of atmospheric methane. Here, we assess controls
on methane flux using a database of approximately 19 000 instantaneous measurements …

Peatlands form important landscape elements in many parts of the world and play significant
roles for biodiversity and global carbon balance. This new edition has been fully revised and …

Methanotrophs, cells that consume methane (CH4) as their sole source of carbon and
energy, play key roles in the global carbon cycle, including controlling anthropogenic and …

The global budget of atmospheric CH4, which is on the order of 500–600 Tg CH4 per year,
is mainly the result of environmental microbial processes, such as archaeal methanogenesis …

Modern agriculture has accelerated biological methane and nitrogen cycling on a global
scale,. Freshwater sediments often receive increased downward fluxes of nitrate from …

We critically review recent literature on carbon storage and fluxes within natural and
constructed freshwater wetlands, and specifically address concerns of readers working in …
