Warming and drought increase but wetness reduces the net sink of CH4 in alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau

Alpine meadows are significant CH4 sink. However, the response of soil CH4 uptake to future climate change in the alpine meadows remains poorly understood. We carried out an alpine meadow field experiments to determin...
