Satellites reveal widespread decline in global lake water storage
Climate change and human activities increasingly threaten lakes that store 87% of Earth's
liquid surface fresh water. Yet, recent trends and drivers of lake volume change remain …

Wetland emission and atmospheric sink changes explain methane growth in 2020
Atmospheric methane growth reached an exceptionally high rate of 15.1±0.4 parts per
billion per year in 2020 despite a probable decrease in anthropogenic methane emissions …

Global methane emissions from rivers and streams
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas and its concentrations have tripled in the
atmosphere since the industrial revolution. There is evidence that global warming has …

Coastal vegetation and estuaries are collectively a greenhouse gas sink
Coastal ecosystems release or absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous
oxide (N2O), but the net effects of these ecosystems on the radiative balance remain …

Rewetting global wetlands effectively reduces major greenhouse gas emissions
Carbon and nitrogen losses from degraded wetlands and methane emissions from flooded
wetlands are both important sources of greenhouse gas emissions. However, the net …

Global methane and nitrous oxide emissions from inland waters and estuaries
Inland waters (rivers, reservoirs, lakes, ponds, streams) and estuaries are significant emitters
of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) to the atmosphere, while global estimates of …

Methane emissions offset atmospheric carbon dioxide uptake in coastal macroalgae, mixed vegetation and sediment ecosystems
Coastal ecosystems can efficiently remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and
are thus promoted for nature-based climate change mitigation. Natural methane (CH4) …
