«We show that methane mixing ratios greater than 10 - 3 are potentially biogenic, whereas those exceeding 10 - 2 are likely biogenic due to the difficulty in maintaining large abiotic methane fluxes to
support high methane levels in anoxic atmospheres,» the researchers wrote in their study.
Not all studies
support the higher methane numbers.

We worked with activists and First Nations in Telkwa, Cache Creek, Smithers, Princeton, Fernie, Iskut, Dease Lake, and throughout the Peace Region, and were able to shut down commercial coalbed
methane everywhere in B.C. Dogwood's early
support for Tahltan opposition to Shell's massive coalbed
methane plan in the Sacred Headwaters led to a
high - profile victory when Shell pulled out for good in 2012.
Northern hemisphere concentrations are a bit
higher than they are in the Southern hemisphere (here), but the magnitude of the difference is small enough to
support the conclusion from the
methane budget that tropical wetlands, which don't generate much interhemispheric gradient, are a dominant natural source (Kirschke et al 2013).
Thus, increasingly
high fractions of algae - derived organic matter will likely
support more
methane production.
