Spatial and temporal patterns of methane emissions from mountain peatlands in the northern Andes across a disturbance gradient
Methane emitted by wetlands accounts for nearly 30% of the global methane emissions and is expected to double by 2,100. Methane fluxes from peatlands are related to m soil temperature, water table, and vegetation. Disturbances, mostly drainage, are considered to have a more limited impact on CH4 flu...
