Trace Gas Exchange in Forest Ecosystems

Part of the book series: Tree Physiology ((TREE,volume 3))

Abstract

Soils of forest ecosystems can function as net sinks or as net sources for atmospheric methane. The exchange of CH4 between soils and the atmosphere is the net-result of simultaneous production of CH4 in predominantly anaerobic zones of the soil and oxidation of CH4 in predominantly oxic zones of the soil, i.e.:
