Potential rates of both methane production and methane consumptionvary over three orders
of magnitude and their distribution is skew. These rates are weakly correlated with …

Covering only 3% of the land area, northern peatlands store about 30% of the global soil
carbon and account for 5 to 10% of the global methane burden to the atmosphere. A review …

Rates of methane (CH 4) production under anaerobic conditions and CH 4 consumption
under aerobic conditions were studied in slurries of peat samples kept at different …

Life evolved and flourished in the absence of molecular oxygen (02). As the 02 content of
the atmosphere rose to the present level of 21% beginning about two billion years ago …

This review examines the interactions among physical, chemical, and biological factors
responsible for methane (CH4) emission from natural wetlands. Methane is a chemically …

Methane (CH4) production varies greatly among different types of peatlands along an
ombrotrophic–minerotrophic hydrogeomorphic gradient. pH is thought to be a dominant …

Controls on the fate of~ 277 Pg of soil organic carbon (C) stored in permafrost peatland soils
remain poorly understood despite the potential for a significant positive feedback to climate …

Wetlands are one of the most important sources of atmospheric methane (CH4), but the
strength of this source is still highly uncertain. To improve estimates of CH4 emission at the …

Production of soil gases is important in nutrient and carbon cycling, particularly in peatlands
due to their large atmospheric emissions of several greenhouse gases. We examined …

Abstract Changes of water table position influence carbon cycling in peatlands, but effects
on the sources and sinks of carbon are difficult to isolate and quantify in field investigations …
