BackgroundMethane (CH4) has a global warming potential (GWP) 28 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2) over a 100‐year horizon. Riparian buffers strips are widely implemented for their water quality protection functions along agricultural land, but conditions prevailing within them may increase the production of radiative greenhouse gases (GHGs), including CH4. However, a few information is available regarding the dynamics of unintended emissions of soil CH4in these commonplace features of agroecosystems and how the dynamics compare with those for agricultural land.AimsTo understand the dynamics of soil CH4fluxes from a permanent upslope pasture and contiguous riparian buffer strips with different (grass, willow, and woodland) vegetation as well controls with no buffer vegetation, an experiment was carried out using the static chamber technique on a replicated plot‐scale facility.MethodsGas fluxes were measured periodically with soil and environmental variables between June 2018 and February 2019 at North Wyke, UK.ResultsSoils under all treatments were sinks of soil CH4with the willow riparian buffer (–2555 ± 318.7 g CH4ha–1) having the lowest soil CH4flux followed by the grass riparian buffer (–2532 ± 318.7 g CH4ha–1), woodland riparian buffer (–2318.0 ± 246.4 g CH4ha–1), no‐buffer control (–1938.0 ± 374.4 g CH4ha–1), and last, the upslope pasture (–1328.0 ± 89.0 g CH4ha–1), which had a higher flux.ConclusionsThe three vegetated riparian buffers were more substantial soil CH4sinks, suggesting that they may help reduce soil CH4fluxes into the atmosphere in similar agroecosystems.
