Factors controlling atmospheric methane consumption by temperate forest soils
Abstract
Over the past 6 years (1988–1993), we have examined the effects of soil temperature, soil moisture, site fertility, and nitrogen fertilization on the consumption of atmospheric CH 4 by temperate forest soils located at the Harvard Forest in Petersham, Massachusetts. We found that soil temperature is an important controller of CH 4 consumption at temperatures between −5° and 10°C but had no effect on CH 4 consumption at temperatures between 10° and 20°C. Soil moisture exerts strong control on CH 4 consumption over a range of 60 to 100% water‐filled pore space (% WFPS). As moisture increased from 60 to 100% WFPS, CH 4 consumption decreased from 0.1 to 0 mg CH 4‐C m−2 h−1 because of gas transport limitations. At 20 to 60% WFPS, site fertility was a strong controller of CH 4 consumption. High‐fertility sites had 2 to 3 times greater CH 4 consumption rates than low‐fertility sites. Nitrogen‐fertilized soils (50 and 150 kg NH 4 NO 3‐N ha−1 yr−1 ) had annually averaged CH 4 consumption rates that were 15 to 64% lower than annually averaged CH 4 consumption by control soils. The decrease in CH 4 consumption was related to both the years of application and quantity of nitrogen fertilizer added to these soils.

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.
