Conceptual figure depicting the potential contribution of OMP (blue) to total lake CH4 diffusive flux (grey) and the potential contribution of phytoplankton CH4 production (green) to OMP ecosystem rates (orange), assuming the maximum potential scenario of contribution in all cases. The contribution of OMP (blue) to lake CH4 diffusive fluxes was obtained as mentioned in Section 7, the contribution of phytoplankton to OMP rates was obtained as explained in Section 11.
