Methane emissions from lakes: Dependence of lake characteristics, two regional assessments, and a global estimate

[ 1] Lake sediments are "hot spots'' of methane production in the landscape. However, regional and global lake methane emissions, contributing to the greenhouse effect, are poorly known. We develop ...
