Résumé :
|
Methane emission from a small covered landfill site showed, seasonally varying fluxes, ranging from -5.9 to 914.3 mg CH4 m(-2) d(-1). The moisture content of the CH4-oxidising cover soil was thought to cause this variation. Comparing gross and net CH4 emission rates, it was found that the cover soil, due to its CH4 oxidising capacity, had a large mitigating effect on the CH4 emission. In laboratory experiments the effects of soil moisture, temperature and different ammonium amendments on CH4 oxidation were investigated.
