Contrasting controls on tree methane emissions in upland and wetland forests

Jonathan Gewirtzman, Naomi Hegwood, Hannah Burrows, Maxwell Lutz, Grace Thompson, Bethany Duncan, Masako Yang, Samuel Jurado, Robert E. Marra, Jaclyn Hatala Matthes

This study compares methane emissions from upland and wetland trees, finding wetland trees emit 40 times more methane due to hydrological and species-specific factors, while upland emissions show little environmental control.
