"Methane production" refers to the creation or generation of methane, which is a type of greenhouse gas. It happens when certain processes or organisms produce methane gas, which can then be released into the atmosphere. Full definition
In the longer - term, a crucial question that remains is whether methane oxidation in natural environments can match potentially increased methane production in response to predicted climate change. (eos.org)
The avoidance of methane production from anaerobic degradation reduces a significant amount of emissions from being released into the atmosphere where greenhouse gases contribute to the negative effects of climate change. (carbonzero.ca)
Similarly, expected future increases in precipitation and length of growing season would tend to increase methane production. (realclimate.org)
