TLDR
In this paper, a stepwise regression model was used to investigate the role of soil temperature in methane emissions in Swedish landfills, finding that soil temperature was negatively correlated with biological methane oxidation, which strongly suggests that biological oxidation is an important regulating factor.About:

TL;DR: Although landfill CH 4 emissions from developed countries have been largely stabilized, emissions from developing countries are increasing as more controlled (anaerobic) landfilling practices are implemented; these emissions could be reduced by accelerating the introduction of engineered gas recovery, increasing rates of waste minimization and recycling, and implementing alternative waste management strategies provided they are affordable, effective, and sustainable.

Seasonal variation in methane oxidation in a landfill cover soil as determined by an in situ stable isotope technique
Jeffrey P. Chanton,Karen Liptay +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, seasonal variations in the oxidation of methane during its transport across the soil cap of a landfill in Leon County, Florida, were determined in situ with a stable isotopic technique.

Use of stable isotopes to determine methane oxidation in landfill cover soils
TL;DR: The mean isotopic composition of CH4 emitted from six New England (United States) landfills was 13C and D enriched (−48.1 to −50.4) relative to anoxic zone landfill CH4 (mean values of −55.9 to −56.2 and −296 to −300‰) owing to the oxidation of methane as it was transported from the landfill to the atmosphere through the soil cap.

Environmental factors influencing attenuation of methane and hydrochlorofluorocarbons in landfill cover soils.
Charlotte Scheutz,Peter Kjeldsen +1 more
TL;DR: The most important parameters controlling oxidation in landfill cover soil were found to be temperature, soil moisture, and methane and oxygen supply, and higher ammonium concentrations inhibited the oxidation process.

Climate change 1992 : the supplementary report to the IPCC scientific assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an update of the emissions scenarios for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which is based on the results of the 1992 International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks (JDSN).

A comparison of the contribution of various gases to the greenhouse effect
TL;DR: A rough analysis based on the use of currently accepted values shows that natural gas is preferable to other fossil fuels in consideration of the greenhouse effect as long as its leakage can be limited to 3 to 6 percent.

Rapid methane oxidation in a landfill cover soil.
TL;DR: Methane oxidation rates observed in a topsoil covering a retired landfill are the highest reported for any environment and are attributed to enhanced CH(4) transport to the microorganisms; gas-phase molecular diffusion is 10-fold faster than aqueous diffusion.

Seasonal patterns of methane uptake and carbon dioxide release by a temperate woodland soil
TL;DR: In this article, a 2-year period in a mixed hardwood forest in New Hampshire was used to measure CH4 and CO2 in a drained upland inceptisol forest in order to characterize the depth variation and the temperature response of the consumption and production reactions.
