- Feedback of wetland CH4 in projected future

Global Warming Potential caused by the response of wetland CH4 could overwhlem the anthropogenic CH4 emissions

Wetland CH4 feedback was assumed to be muted in the future climate scenarios in previous climate projection. We use climate and vegetation models to provide a comprehensive assessment and find that climate change could cause shifting dominances of global climate forcing from anthropogenic to wetland CH4 emissions during the 21st century. Check out our recent publication on Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences for more details.

wetland CH4 fluxes simulated by Dynamic Global Vegetation Model LPJ-wsl

This is an example showing the simulated monthly wetland CH4 fluxes and the freeze/thaw cycle. The wetland CH4 fluxes is estimated using a prognostic semi-empirical approach incorporated into LPJ-wsl model. Check out our paper on Biogeosciences for more details.
