Controls of Atmospheric Methane on Early Earth and Inhabited Earth-like Terrestrial Exoplanets
Methane (CH _4 ) is a primarily biogenic greenhouse gas. As such, it represents an essential biosignature to search for life on exoplanets. Atmospheric CH _4 abundance on Earth-like inhabited exoplanets is likely controlled by marine biogenic production and atmospheric photochemical consumption. Suc...
