Global methane emissions and uptake

Global methane emissions from wetlands, rice paddies, and lakes

Atmospheric constraints on global emissions of methane from plants

[1] We investigate whether a recently proposed large source of CH4 from vegetation can be reconciled with atmospheric measurements. Atmospheric transport model simulations with and without vegetation emissions are compared with background CH4, d C-CH4 and satellite measurements. For present–day CH4 we derive an upper limit to the newly discovered source of 125 Tg CH4 yr . Analysis of preindustr...
