TL;DR: In this paper, the key mechanisms of peatland CH4 production, consumption and transport and the major environmental and biotic controls on peat land CH4 emissions are discussed.

TL;DR: The results quantify the role of human activities on the climate footprint of northern wetlands and call for development of active mitigation strategies for managed wetlands and new guidelines of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change accounting for both sustained CH4 emissions and cumulative CO2 exchange.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of rice straw incorporation on total organic carbon, active organic carbon fractions, and carbon pool management index (CPMI) in a subtropical paddy field in China were examined.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the potential of using a mixture of fishpond bund material, completely decomposed granite and river sand as substrate in a constructed wetland for phosphorus removal.

TL;DR: Investigation of nutrient cycling in three intensive shrimp ponds with zero water exchange demonstrated the importance of aquaculture pond effluent as a major contributor of water pollution in the coastal areas of China, and called for actions to properly treat these effluents in alleviating the eutrophication problem in the Chinese coastal zones.
