Abstract

Methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas, has long been a subject of concern in the context of climate change. Its presence in the atmosphere significantly contributes to the warming of our planet. While methane emissions are associated with various natural and anthropogenic sources, peatlands stand out as a critical player in the global methane cycle. Recent research has delved into the fascinating interplay between weather extremes, specifically drought and heavy precipitation, and CH4 emissions, as well as the isotopic composition of CH4 (δ13C–CH4).
