Uncertainties in wetland methane-flux estimates

Glob Chang Biol. 2023 Aug;29(15):4175-4177. doi: 10.1111/gcb.16754. Epub 2023 May 16.

Abstract

The wetland at Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve, with flux tower US-OWC, which is characterized by high methane fluxes, high spatial heterogeneity, dynamic hydrology and water level fluctuations, and high lateral transport of dissolved organic carbon and nutrients, embodies many of the challenges in modeling methane fluxes.

Keywords: bottom-up methane estimates; greenhouse gas; methane flux; modeling; top-down methane inventories; wetland.
