Extreme organic carbon burial fuels intense methane bubbling in a temperate reservoir
Open accessAbstract
Organic carbon (OC) burial and greenhouse gas emission of inland waters plays an increasingly evident role in the carbon balance of the continents, and particularly young reservoirs in the tropics emit methane (CH 4) at high rates. Here we show that an old, temperate reservoir acts simultaneously as a strong OC sink and CH 4 source, because the high sedimentation rate supplies reactive organic matter to deep, anoxic sediment strata, fuelling methanogenesis and gas bubble emission (ebullition) of CH 4 from the sediment. Damming of the river has resulted in the build‐up of highly methanogenic sediments under a shallow water column, facilitating the transformation of fixed CO 2 to atmospheric CH 4. Similar high OC burial and CH 4 ebullition is expected in other reservoirs and natural river deltas.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
