Abstract:Rivers play a non-negligible role in global methane (CH 4 ) emissions. However, little research has focused on CH 4 emissions from rivers with high suspended sediment (SPS) concentrations, and how SPS influences riverine CH 4 emissions is still unclear. In this study, significant CH 4 emissions were observed in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, despite the extremely low organic-C level (DOC = 2.2 mg/L). The average value of CH 4 flux was 107.7 μmol m −2 d −1 , which was even higher than that of urban rive… Show more
