Methane emission in sub-tropical wetlands along a tidally inundated river

抄録

Wetlands are estimated to account for more than one third of the overall methane emission, ranking the greatest natural contributor. We investigate the factors controlling methane emission in wetlands distributed along the Dan-Tsui river in northern Taiwan under different degrees of tidal inundation. Overall, temperature and sulfate availability related to tidal inundation appear to be the first order control of methane emission.
