Methane and nitrous oxide flux in a Wyoming subalpine meadow

Soil is considered the major source for both atmospheric nitrous oxide and methane. The studies reported in this paper measure methane and nitrous oxide fluxes during the snow-free time in a subalpine forest meadow. Observations are made on how these fluxes changed spatially and temporally with in the system over a two year periods. 31 refs., 6 figs., 1 tab.
