Abstract
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) - CH4 of non-fossil origin has a global warming potential (GWP) of 27.0 on a 100-year time scale -and strongly contributes to climate change. Approximately half of the CH4 emitted to the atmosphere originates from aquatic systems. While the estimate of aquatic CH4 commissions comes with large uncertainties, this applies even more for the contribution of CH4 emissions from vegetated aquatic areas. This is related to uncertainties in both the emission intensities as well as the areal extent of vegetated aquatic areas.
期刊介绍：
Aquatic Botany offers a platform for papers relevant to a broad international readership on fundamental and applied aspects of marine and freshwater macroscopic plants in a context of ecology or environmental biology. This includes molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of macroscopic aquatic plants as well as the classification, structure, function, dynamics and ecological interactions in plant-dominated aquatic communities and ecosystems. It is an outlet for papers dealing with research on the consequences of disturbance and stressors (e.g. environmental fluctuations and climate change, pollution, grazing and pathogens), use and management of aquatic plants (plant production and decomposition, commercial harvest, plant control) and the conservation of aquatic plant communities (breeding, transplantation and restoration). Specialized publications on certain rare taxa or papers on aquatic macroscopic plants from under-represented regions in the world can also find their place, subject to editor evaluation. Studies on fungi or microalgae will remain outside the scope of Aquatic Botany.
