Waterbody methane emissions per area are negatively correlated with the size of the emitting waterbody. Thus, ponds, defined here as having an area smaller than 8 · 10 4 m 2 , contribute out of proportion to the aquatic methane budget compared to the total area they cover and compared to other water...
