Abstract:<p>Methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) is a potent greenhouse gas contributing to climate change, with a global warming potential of 24x of CO<sub>2</sub> on a 100-year time-frame. More importantly, the atmospheric methane concentration has been rising rapidly in the last decade. Soils are as yet the only known biological sink for atmospheric methane, but the methane uptake capacity of agricultural soils is substantially reduced when compared to native… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
