Methane (CH4) is the most important anthropogenically enhanced greenhouse gas in the atmosphere after CO2, contributing an extra 26% of anthropogenic greenhouse warming since 1750 (ref. 1). As such, it is important that all sources and sinks are fully quantified to include the role of terrestrial ecosystems in mediating atmospheric exchange. The global CH4 budget is now unbalanced, with sources ex
