Forests don’t just absorb CO2 — they also take up methane

Vestin, Patrik LU orcid (2024) In Nature 631. p.744-745
Abstract
Field studies reveal that the woody surfaces of upland trees are a substantial global sink for methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The findings help to fill a hole in the global methane budget and should improve the accuracy of climate models.
