Greenhouse carbon balance of wetlands: methane emission versus carbon sequestration. Tellus Series B – Chemical and Physical Meteorology 53(5): 521-528.
Description
As global warming potential of methane decreases over long time horizons (100 years), our analyses suggest that the subtropical and temperate wetlands attenuate global warming. and northern wetlands may be perched on the "greenhouse compensation" point. Considering a 500-year time horizon, these wetlands can be regarded as sinks for greenhouse gas warming potential, and thus attenuate the greenhouse warming of the atmosphere.
