Impacts of climate change on methane emissions from wetlands. Geophysical Research Letters 31: L21202
Description
Geographic distributions of wetlands: High northern latitude wetland areas expand, methane emissions triple. Doubled CO2 simulations show rise in annual average methane emission by 78% (enhanced emissions from tropical wetlands). Predicts 20% increase of global totals from natural emissions under climate change.
Case study for Climate Change / Wetlands in cold ecoregions:
| Parameter group | Indicator |
|---|---|
| Abiotic incidators | N-/C-flux, greenhouse gases emission, wetland extension, connectivity, functioning |
