Fig. 1: Conceptual drawing of the wetland-methane feedback.

From: Addressing methane emission feedbacks from global wetlands

Fig. 1

Positive feedback loop initiated by anthropogenic GHG emissions (black arrow) enhancing climate warming and leading to additional methane emissions from wetlands (grey arrow). Baseline (natural) CH4 emissions from wetlands (white arrow) remain unaffected, but all emissions contribute to the climate warming feedback loop. Arrows are not drawn to scale and do not represent the relative magnitude of GHG fluxes.
