English term

Methane sink

English to Serbian Science Geology Methane
This area is dry. Air goes into the surface soil, which means that methane eating bacteria sits there. This will be a methane sink. In this area, which is boggy, it's water-saturated, we have anaerobic conditions in the soil, methane producing microorganisms will produce methane, and this is a methane source. The forest behind us looks dry, so that would probably be a methane sink now. A wet forest can also be a methane source, but in this case I think it's a sink.
