Title: Methane rises from rivers: are urban rivers missing hotspots?

Abstract:

Urbanization trends have had a significant effect on aquatic ecosystem, which may influence global warming through changes in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission rates. Growing evidence shows that urban river system (URS) may play an important role in GHG emission. CH4 is a potent GHG, with a global warming potential. Aiming to improve the well-being of human and reduce GHG emission, carbon neutrality will be achieved by 2060 in China, which indicates that it is important to investigate the relationship between CH4 emissions and human activities in URS.
