ITHACA, N.Y.- Though human-made ponds both sequester and release greenhouse gases, when added up, they may be net emitters, according to two related studies by Cornell University researchers. The ...

The smaller the pond, the higher the concentration of carbon dioxide and methane, new research shows. Although ponds less than a quarter of an acre in size make up only 8.6 percent of the surface area ...

Stormwater retention ponds, a ubiquitous feature in urban landscapes, are not a significant source of climate-warming nitrous oxide emissions, a new study finds. Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse ...

Once considered the perfect way to let nature process rain that has run along the ground and picked up pollutants, most stormwater runoff ponds have now been found to emit greenhouse gases that ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – Shallow lakes and ponds emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but emissions from these systems vary considerably and are not well understood. Now, a new ...

A pond covered by duckweed. New research from the University of Minnesota finds that ponds — especially those covered by duckweed — can be a significant contributor of greenhouse gases into the ...
