Enhanced methane emissions from tropical wetlands during the 2011 La Niña.
Sci Rep
April 2017
Institute of Marine and Atmospheric Research Utrecht (IMAU), Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- * During this La Niña, tropical CH emissions increased by approximately 6-9 TgCH per year, primarily due to enhanced biogenic sources linked to expanded wetland areas from excessive rainfall.
- * The research indicates that while models predict an increase in wetland area during this period, they underestimate the emissions per unit area, suggesting a need for better modeling of wetland methane emissions.
