This study explores the variability in concentrations of dissolved CH 4 and annual flux
estimates in the pelagic zone in a statistically defined sample of 207 lakes in Finland. The …

Transitions between aquatic and terrestrial environments can be recognized as
biogeochemically active ecotones that support high CH4 release. We studied the links …

Lakes are major sources of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere that contribute significantly to
the global budget. Recent studies have shown that diffusive fluxes, ebullition and surface …

Methane (CH4) represents a major product of organic matter decomposition in lakes. Once
produced in the sediments, CH4 can be either oxidized or emitted as a greenhouse gas to …

Global lakes have been identified as an important component of natural methane (CH 4)
sources. Given that lake CH 4 emissions involve multiple, complex processes influenced by …

Subtropical lakes are important source of atmospheric methane (CH4). This study aims to
investigate spatial variations of CH4 flux in Lake Taihu, a large (area 2400 km2) and shallow …

Methane (CH4) emissions from lakes are the largest of the emissions from freshwater
ecosystems. We compile open water CH4 emission estimates from individual lakes from all …

Lakes have been identified as an important source of atmospheric methane. Here the
spatiotemporal distribution of dissolved methane was measured in a medium‐sized …

Lake littoral zones have a transitional nature and dynamic conditions, which are reflected in
their CH4 emissions. Thus, detailed studies are needed to assess the littoral CH4 emissions …

Lake sediments are “hot spots” of methane production in the landscape. However, regional
and global lake methane emissions, contributing to the greenhouse effect, are poorly known …
