Eugenio Sanhueza, « Methane soil-vegetation-atmosphere fluxes in tropical ecosystems », Interciencia, ID : 10670/1.ywh353
"Recently, a surprising discovery indicated that, by an unknown process, vegetation emits methane to the atmosphere. This find-ing could have serious implications in atmospheric chemistry, climate, and mitigation of global change. In order to evaluate the magnitude of the tropical vegetation source, a re-evaluation of results obtained at various Venezuelan ecosystems is made. CH4 fluxes from the soil-grass system in savanna ecosystems in-dicate that grasses produce CH4 at ~10ng·m-2·s-1. Furthermore, CH4 accumulation within the nocturnal mixing layer at the Guri site, which is affected by savanna and forest emissions, was used to make a rough upper limit estimation of
