Plant species from mesotrophic wetlands cause relatively high methane emissions from peat soil (2009, background): “Plants can have a strong effect upon the emission of CH4 from wetland ecosystems, apparently because they influence the production, consumption and transport of CH4 in the soil (Christensen et al. 2003; Responsible Editor: Per Ambus.”
DIEL MINERALIZATION PATTERNS OF STANDING-DEAD PLANT LITTER: IMPLICATIONS FOR CO2 FLUX FROM WETLANDS (2004, background): “…when CO2 evolution from standing-dead litter is likely minimal, namely during the daytime (e.g., Whiting 1994, Yavitt 1997, Bridgham et al. 1998, Updegraff et al. 2001, Dalva et al. 2001, Wickland et al. 2001, Clair et al. 2002, Moore et al. 2002, Christensen et al. 2003, Larmola et al. 2003).”
Plant-mediated CH 4 transport and contribution of photosynthates to methanogenesis at a boreal mire: a 14 C pulse-labeling study (2011, methodology): “Several results (Whiting and Chanton, 1993; Dacey et al., 1994; Greenup et al., 2000; Christensen et al., 2003) showed that CH4 emission rates rise as the net production (or plant biomass) of wetland vegetation increases.”
Biochemical cycling in the rhizosphere having an impact on global change (2009, unknown): “However, ebullition is thought to account for 18–50% of total CH4 emissions from Swedish wetlands (Christensen et al. 2003).”
