Forest soils are a sink for atmospheric methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) and play an important role in modulating the global CH<sub>4</sub> budget. However, whether CH<sub>4</sub> uptake by forest soils is affected by global environmental change is unknown. We measured soil to atmosphere net CH<sub>4</sub> fluxes in temperate forests at two long-term ecological research sites in the northeastern United States from the late 1990s to the mid-2010s. We found that annual soil CH<sub>4</sub> uptake decreased ...[more]
