Methane emissions from terrestrial plants under aerobic conditions

TL;DR: It is demonstrated using stable carbon isotopes that methane is readily formed in situ in terrestrial plants under oxic conditions by a hitherto unrecognized process, suggesting that this newly identified source may have important implications for the global methane budget and may call for a reconsideration of the role of natural methane sources in past climate change.
