| Description | Over the last century, the atmospheric concentration of the greenhouse gas methane has risen ;1% per year (Rowland 1985). The reasons for this trend are not completely understood since the global sources and sinks of methane still need quantification (Conrad and Seiler 1988). Methane is an important product of the anaerobic degradation of organic material in bottom sediments (Kiene 1991). Gas ebullition from the bottom sediments of natural waters could substantially envelop the total methane flux; however, only a few studies have been carried out to assess gas bubble emission from the floor of aquatic ecosystems using different techniques or a combination of methods (e.g., Huttunen et al. 2001; Whiting and Chanton 2001; Leifer and Patro 2002). |
