Chemistry World April 27, 2007 Richard Van Noorden	Scientists Clash Over Methane Mystery The startling claim that trees could be responsible for putting millions of tons of methane into the atmosphere every year was published last year in the prestigious journal Nature. But that has now been rubbished by rival researchers who report that plants emit virtually no methane whatsoever.
Chemistry World November 29, 2007 James Mitchell Crow	Plants Really do Make Methane Chinese chemists have confirmed the contentious finding that plants can emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Chemistry World August 20, 2008	Grasslands Emit Greenhouse Gas Chinese researchers have found further evidence that plants emit significant quantities of methane - a potent greenhouse gas. But the latest findings also show that methane emissions depend not just on the species of plant, but the conditions in which they are growing.
Geotimes January 2006 Kathryn Hansen	Plant Methane Surprises Climate Scientists Atmospheric scientists have long blamed cattle and microbes for the production of significant amounts of methane on Earth. But the discovery of a new large source of methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, is putting trees on the hot seat.
Geotimes December 2006 Megan Sever	Methane Budget to Become Off-Balance Methane packs a big punch in the atmosphere. A team of climate scientists now says that it has better determined the primary controls over the methane budget over the past two decades, and the team offers a warning for the future: methane emissions will likely rise.
