  • Methane flux measurements along a floodplain soil moisture gradient in the Okavango Delta, Botswana 

    Gondwe, M.J.; Hefter, C.; Murray-Hudson, M.; Levy, P.E.; Mosimanyana, E.; Makati, A.; Mfundisi, K.B.; Skiba, U.M. (The Royal Society, https://royalsociety.org/, 2021-09-21)
    Data-poor tropical wetlands constitute an important source of atmospheric CH4 in the world. We studied CH4 fluxes using closed chambers along a soil moisture gradient in a tropical seasonal swamp in the Okavango Delta, ...

  • Phenology is the dominant control of methane emissions in a tropical non-forested wetland 

    Hefter, Carol; Gondwe, Mangaliso; Murray-Hudson, Michael; Makati, Anastacia; Lunt, Mark F.; Palmer, Paul, I.; Skiba, Ute (Springer Nature, https://www.springernature.com, 2022-01-10)
    Tropical wetlands are a significant source of atmospheric methane (CH4), but their importance to the global CH4 budget is uncertain due to a paucity of direct observations. Net wetland emissions result from complex ...

  • Tropical wetlands: seasonal hydrologic pulsing, carbon sequestration and methane emissions 

    Mitsch, W.J.; Nahlik, A.; Wolski, P.; Bernal, B.; Zhang, L.; Ramberg, L. (Springer, http://www.springer.com, 2010)
    This paper summarizes the importance of climate on tropical wetlands. Regional hydrology and carbon dynamics in many of these wetlands could shift with dramatic changes in these major carbon storages if the inter-tropical ...
