Methane (CHâ‚„) release to the atmosphere from thawing permafrost contributes significantly to global CHâ‚„ emissions. However, constraining the effects of thaw that control the production and emission of CHâ‚„ is needed to anticipate future Arctic emissions. Here are presented robust rate measureme...
