Abstract
The annual sink strengths of soils under rabi and kharif crops, forests, pastures and long fallow areas have been estimated to be 0.11, 0.34, 0.01 and 0.05 Tg yr−1, respectively for the atmospheric methane. The total annual sink provided by Indian soils is 0.51 Tg yr−1 and is about 4% of the total annual methane emission attributed to anthropogenic sources in India.
