Chemistry World August 20, 2008	Grasslands Emit Greenhouse Gas Chinese researchers have found further evidence that plants emit significant quantities of methane - a potent greenhouse gas. But the latest findings also show that methane emissions depend not just on the species of plant, but the conditions in which they are growing.
Chemistry World April 27, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Scientists Clash Over Methane Mystery The startling claim that trees could be responsible for putting millions of tons of methane into the atmosphere every year was published last year in the prestigious journal Nature. But that has now been rubbished by rival researchers who report that plants emit virtually no methane whatsoever.
Chemistry World August 16, 2006 Katharine Sanderson	Plants' Methane Emissions Revised The news that trees and other plants can give off large quantities of methane took biologists and atmospheric chemists by surprise. Scientists have now fine-tuned their calculations and set an upper limit on plants' total methane emissions that almost halves their original suggestion.
Geotimes January 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Plant Methane Surprises Climate Scientists Atmospheric scientists have long blamed cattle and microbes for the production of significant amounts of methane on Earth. But the discovery of a new large source of methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, is putting trees on the hot seat.
