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:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
