Asymmetric responses of methane uptake to climate warming and cooling of a Tibetan alpine meadow assessed through a reciprocal translocation along an elevation gradient
AimsA lacking of understanding about cooling effects on methane (CH4) fluxes and potential asymmetrical responses to warming and cooling causes uncertainty about climate change effects on the atmospheric CH4 concentration. We investigated CH4 fluxes in an alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau in response to climate warming and cooling.
