Emission dynamics

• GHG emission study conducted in two different type of floodplain wetlands viz. open and closed
• Average emission of CH4 was 918±324 to 9534±6229g CH4-C/ha/day in open and 1836±286 to 7117±4148g CH4-C/ha/day in closed wetland
• Closed wetland emitted 10248±2611 to 15725±8796g CO2-C/ha/day while open emitted 1211±1090 to 3858±2617g CO2-C/ha/day
• Low emission from open wetland elucidates the importance of maintaining the link channel with parent river
