Salinity causes widespread restriction of methane emissions from small inland waters

C. Soued, M. J. Bogard, et al.

Inland waters, particularly salt-rich systems, may be emitting more methane than we previously thought. This study by Cynthia Soued and colleagues reveals that salinity significantly impacts CH₄ cycling in the Canadian Prairies, leading to an alarming 81% overestimation of emissions from small waterbodies.
