Three decades of global methane sources and sinks

Three decades of global methane sources and sinks Methane is an important greenhouse gas, responsible for about 20% of the warming induced by long-lived greenhouse gases since pre-industrial times. A compilation of observations and results from chemical transport, ecosystem and climate chemistry models suggests that a rise in wetland and fossil fuel emissions probably accounts for the renewed increase in global methane levels after 2006. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nature Geoscience Springer Journals

Abstract

Methane is an important greenhouse gas, responsible for about 20% of the warming induced by long-lived greenhouse gases since pre-industrial times. A compilation of observations and results from chemical transport, ecosystem and climate chemistry models suggests that a rise in wetland and fossil fuel emissions probably accounts for the renewed increase in global methane levels after 2006.
