Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH 4) budget is important for assessing
realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. Atmospheric emissions and concentrations of …

The global methane (CH 4) budget is becoming an increasingly important component for
managing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. This relevance, due to a shorter …

Atmospheric methane plays a major role in controlling climate, yet contemporary methane
trends (1982–2017) have defied explanation with numerous, often conflicting, hypotheses …

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 …

Methane is an important greenhouse gas, responsible for about 20% of the warming
induced by long-lived greenhouse gases since pre-industrial times. By reacting with …

Understanding the dynamics of methane (CH 4) emissions is of paramount importance
because CH 4 has 25 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and is …

Resumption of the increase in atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations since 2007 is of
global concern and may partly have resulted from emissions from rice cultivation. Estimates …

Methane is the second strongest anthropogenic greenhouse gas and its atmospheric
burden has more than doubled since 1850. Methane concentrations stabilized in the early …

Permafrost contains about 50% of the global soil carbon. It is thought that the thawing of
permafrost can lead to a loss of soil carbon in the form of methane and carbon dioxide …

A brand new edition of the definitive textbook on humankind's impact on the Earth's
environment—now in full color This classic text explores the multitude of impacts that …
