Global change: A green source of surprise
David C. Lowe1
Abstract
Living terrestrial vegetation emits large amounts of methane into the atmosphere. This unexpected finding, if confirmed, will have an impact on both greenhouse-gas accounting and research into sources of methane.
On page 187 of this issue, Keppler et al.1 report the remarkable discovery that terrestrial plants emit methane into the atmosphere. Their results are startling, for two reasons.
