Wetlands and Greenhouse Gas Fluxes: Causes and Effects of Climate Change â•fi A Meta-Analysis

Acid Rain Links to Methane Emissions from Wetlands Aspen Global Change Institute: Atmospheric Composition, Biogeochemical Cycles and Climate Change

As the most abundant hydrocarbon in the atmosphere and a powerful greenhouse gas, methane (CH4) plays an important role in both the chemical composition and radiative balance of the earth’s atmosphere. To understand it’s role in the atmosphere, its sources and sinks as well as processes governing the rates and fluxes of this gas is an important objective if we are to understand the function of ...

Tropical wetlands: A missing link in the global carbon cycle?

Tropical wetlands are not included in Earth system models, despite being an important source of methane (CH4) and contributing a large fraction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from land use, land use change, and forestry in the tropics. This review identifies a remarkable lack of data on the carbon balance and gas fluxes from undisturbed tropical wetlands, which limits the ability of global c...

Carbon Sequestration, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Nebraska Agriculture â•fi Background and Potential

Considering the effect of climate change on catchment runoff by the use of HadCM3 model under the scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions (case study: Karun catchment area in SHalu bridge site)

Climate change is one of the most important challenges which has effect on river runoff. Warmer climatic conditions have intensified the water cycle, rainfall changes, runoff time and amount. There were several studies with different result on this subject all over the world. Due to the importance of karoun zone and lack of studies, the researcher tried to study the effects of this phenomenon o...

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...
