It is demonstrated using stable carbon isotopes that methane is readily formed in situ in terrestrial plants under oxic conditions by a hitherto unrecognized process, suggesting that this newly identified source may have important implications for the global methane budget and may call for a reconsideration of the role of natural methane sources in past climate change.

Methane (CH_4), the second principal anthropogenic greenhouse gas after CO_2, is the most abundant reduced organic compound in the atmosphere and plays a central role in atmospheric chemistry.…

Stable isotopes provide revised global limits of aerobic methane emissions from plants

Recently Keppler et al. (2006) discovered a surprising new source of methane – terrestrial plants under aerobic conditions, with an estimated global production of 62–236 Tg yr −1 by an unknown…

Contribution of anthropogenic and natural sources to atmospheric methane variability

The results indicate that wetland emissions dominated the inter-annual variability of methane sources, whereas fire emissions played a smaller role, except during the 1997–1998 El Niño event.
