Investigating variability of biogenic gas dynamics in peat soils using high temporal frequency hydrogeophysical methods [electronic resource] /
Peat soils are known to be a significant source of atmospheric greenhouse gasses. However, the releases of methane and carbon dioxide gasses from peat soils are currently not well understood, particularly since the timing of the releases are poorly constrained. Furthermore, most research work perfor...
