Warmer spring conditions increase annual methane emissions from a boreal peat landscape with sporadic permafrost

About a fifth of the global wetland methane emissions originate from boreal peatlands, which represent an important land cover type in boreal landscapes in the sporadic permafrost zone. There, rising air temperatures could lead to warmer spring and longer growing seasons, changing landscape methane...
