Large methane emission upon spring thaw from natural wetlands in the northern permafrost region

Large methane emission upon spring thaw from natural wetlands in the northern permafrost region

The permafrost carbon–climate feedback is one of the major mechanisms in controlling the climate–ecosystem interactions in northern high latitudes. Of this feedback, methane (CH _4 ) emission from natural wetlands is critically important due to its high warming potential. The freeze–thaw transition...
