Article Synopsis
  • Sub-daily variations in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from urban ponds in Brussels were studied to establish their significance compared to seasonal and inter-pond variations.
  • The study measured CO, CH, and NO levels hourly across different seasons, revealing that CO levels followed a day-night cycle, while CH and NO levels fluctuated more erratically.
  • It was concluded that inter-pond variability had a greater impact on emissions than seasonal and sub-daily variations, suggesting a need for focused sampling strategies to better understand these emissions in the context of managing urban water systems.
