Journal ArticleDOI
Methane emissions from a small wind shielded lake determined by eddy covariance, flux chambers, anchored funnels, and boundary model calculations: a comparison.
TL;DR: Although fluxes were high, on average 4 mmol m(-2) d(-1) during the overturn period, water column microbial methane oxidation removed 75% of the methane and only 25% of potential emissions were released to the atmosphere, illustrating the importance of considering methane oxidation when estimating the flux of methane from lakes during overturn periods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidation and emission of methane in a monomictic lake (Rotsee, Switzerland)
Carsten J. Schubert,F. Lucas,F. Lucas,E. Durisch-Kaiser,E. Durisch-Kaiser,R. Stierli,Torsten Diem,O. Scheidegger,Francisco Vazquez,Beat Müller +9 more
TL;DR: The build-up of methane in the hypolimnion of the eutrophic Lake Rotsee (Lucerne, Switzerland) was monitored over a full year as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropogenic and natural methane fluxes in Switzerland synthesized within a spatially explicit inventory

Hodson,Dennis Imer,Michael Kreuzer,Thomas Künzle,Lutz Merbold,Pascal A. Niklaus,B. Rihm,A. Schellenberger,Martin H. Schroth,Carsten J. Schubert,H. Siegrist,J. Stieger,Nina Buchmann,Dominik Brunner +22 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the first high-resolution (500 m × 500 m) gridded methane emission inventory for Switzerland, which integrates 90 % of the national emission totals reported to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and recent CH 4 flux studies conducted by research groups across Switzerland.
Journal ArticleDOI
What prevents outgassing of methane to the atmosphere in Lake Tanganyika
Edith Durisch-Kaiser,Edith Durisch-Kaiser,Martin Schmid,Frank Peeters,Rolf Kipfer,Rolf Kipfer,Christian Dinkel,Torsten Diem,Carsten J. Schubert,Bernhard Wehrli,Bernhard Wehrli +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the anaerobic oxidation of CH4 is an important mechanism limiting CH4 to the anoxic zone of Lake Tanganyika, which is further supported by high abundances (up to ∼33% of total DAPI stained cells) of single living archaea.
Posted ContentDOI
Greenhouse gas emissions (CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2 O) from perialpine and alpine hydropower reservoirs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured greenhouse gas (CO2, CH4, and N2O) emissions from eleven reservoirs located at different altitudes in Switzerland depth profiles of greenhouse gas concentrations were measured several times during spring and summer.
