Wetlands currently account for a major percentage of atmospheric methane. However, the extent and significance of plant-associated methane oxidation remain uncertain in spite of the clear role of aquatic plants as determinants of methane transport and methogenesis. This study documents in situ assays of methane oxidation and emission from a stand of Sparganium eurycarpum. 42 refs., 9 figs.
