Uncertainties in wetland methane‐flux estimates
Theresia Yazbeck, Gil Bohrer
Abstract
The wetland at Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve, with flux tower US-OWC, which is characterized by high methane fluxes, high spatial heterogeneity, dynamic hydrology and water level fluctuations, and high lateral transport of dissolved organic carbon and nutrients, embodies many of the challenges in modeling methane fluxes.
