Modeling methane fluxes in wetlands with gas-transporting plants: 3. Plot scale

Modeling of Microscale Variations in Methane Fluxes

Dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Technology to be presented with due permission for public examination and debate in Auditorium Abstract: The current study analyzes the different modes of variation in methane fluxes from different microsites of a boreal mire. The results emphasize the importance of microsite characteristics, water table and vegetation cover for methane fluxes. Water lev...

Modeling modern methane emissions from wetlands 1980-present

Methane is one of the important greenhouse gases and plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry. Its contribution to the current greenhouse effect is about 22%. Since the beginning of the industrialization the atmospheric methane concentration has increased by a factor of 2.5. This increase continues until present, however, since the early 1990s the growth rate has decreased. Superimposed...

Greenhouse gas fluxes in southeastern U.S. coastal plain wetlands under contrasting land uses.

Whether through sea level rise or wetland restoration, agricultural soils in coastal areas will be inundated at increasing rates, renewing connections to sensitive surface waters and raising critical questions about environmental trade-offs. Wetland restoration is often implemented in agricultural catchments to improve water quality through nutrient removal. Yet flooding of soils can also incre...
