Methane consumption in aerated soils of the temperate zone
Open accessAbstract
Quasi-continuous observations of the methane concentration in aerated soils of the temperate zone are presented. The flux of methane into the soil is calculated from the concentration gradient at the soil surface. Depending on the permeability of methane in soil air at an individual site, yearly mean uptake rates between 0.09 and 1.3 g CH4 m-2 yr-1 have been observed in temperate forest soils. The methane flux from the atmosphere into the soil shows only a weak seasonality with an about 50% higher uptake rate in the summer than in the winter months. This indicates that the methane flux into the soil is mainly controlled by the transport resistance in the soil rather than by the potential microbial decomposition rate.

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.
