Methane emissions decreased in fossil fuel exploitation and sustainably increased in microbial source sectors during 1990–2020

Abstract Methane (CH4) emission reduction to limit warming to 1.5 °C can be tracked by analyzing CH4 concentration and its isotopic composition (δ 13C, δD) simultaneously. Based on reconstructions of the temporal trends, latitudinal, and vertical gradient of CH4 and δ13C from 1985 to 2020 using an a...
