Just a note because I had misunderstood it first:

"Our analysis shows an increase in CH4-uptake of 3% *per year* on average."

Finally, not so bad news! I mean, it still shows that ecosystems are massively affected by climate change, but since until now almost all feedbacks loops we discovered were positive (=self-enhancing, like thawing permafrost reinforcing climate change).

Before opening a bottle of champagne (or a cup of teas, whatever you like): Not sure how this decrease in soil methane emissions stands in comparison with stuff like reduced plant growth because of changing weather and changes in soil organic matter dynamics (i. e. increased mineralization).

Has anybody numbers/estimates at hand for comparison?

PD: we still need #degrowth and a transition to #agroecology
