From: Reduced biomass burning emissions reconcile conflicting estimates of the post-2006 atmospheric methane budget

Fig. 2

The probability of a decrease in biomass burning methane emissions during 2001–2014. Probability of decrease if the emission factors are within-sector CH4/CO inter-annual variability (black, x axis) and the corresponding global-scale CH4/CO inter-annual variability (light blue, x axis). The probability estimates include the propagation of systematic errors in fire CO emission estimates, and sector-specific CH4/CO values. For comparison, the vertical lines show the global CH4/CO IAV due to annual changes in relative fire sector contributions. The gray-shaded area shows the within-sector CH4/CO uncertainty
