As a national innovative scientific and technological facility that integrates monitoring,
research and demonstrations, the Chinese Ecosystem Research Network (CERN) has …

A critical component of assessing the impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems
involves understanding associated changes in the biogeochemical cycling of elements …

This chapter addresses the biogeochemical cycles of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
and nitrous oxide (N2O). The three greenhouse gases have increased in the atmosphere …

Currently, the global annual flux of methane (CH 4) to the atmosphere is fairly well
constrained at ca. 645 Tg CH 4 year− 1. However, the relative magnitudes of the fluxes …

Over the past 4 decades, a number of numerical models have been developed to quantify
the magnitude, investigate the spatial and temporal variations, and understand the …

It has been proposed that plants are capable of producing methane by a novel and
unidentified biochemical pathway. Emission of methane with an apparently biological origin …

Recent studies demonstrating an in situ formation of methane (CH4) within foliage and
separate observations that soil‐derived CH4 can be released from the stems of trees have …

The recently reported finding that plant matter and living plants produce significant amounts
of the important greenhouse gas methane under aerobic conditions has led to an intense …

Methane (CH4) exchange in tree stems and canopies and the processes involved are
among the least understood components of the global CH4 cycle. Recent studies have …

The observation that plants produce methane (CH4) under aerobic conditions has caused
considerable controversy among the scientific community and the general public. It led to …
