Influence of Different Plant Species on Methane Emissions from Soil in a Restored Swiss Wetland

Plants are a major factor influencing methane emissions from wetlands, along with environmental parameters such as water table, temperature, pH, nutrients and soil carbon substrate. We conducted a field experiment to study how different plant species influence methane emissions from a wetland in Switzerland. The top 0.5 m of soil at this site had been removed five years earlier, leaving a subst...

Toward a statistical description of methane emissions from arctic wetlands

Methane (CH4) emissions from arctic tundra typically follow relations with soil temperature and water table depth, but these process-based descriptions can be difficult to apply to areas where no measurements exist. We formulated a description of the broader temporal flux pattern in the growing season based on two distinct CH4 source components from slow and fast-turnover carbon. We used automa...

Methane emissions from two tundra wetlands in eastern Antarctica

During the summertime of 2005/2006 net methane ðCH4Þ fluxes and environmental variables were investigated in two tundra wetlands Wolong Marsh and Tuanjie Marsh of eastern Antarctica, using the closed chamber technique. At Wolong Marsh, the measurements were made at four wet tundra sites, four mesic tundra sites, and two dry sites. CH4 flux for wet tundra sites averaged 163:4mgm 2 h 1 and for th...
