Abstract:
Flux chamber measurements made in a rainforest provide evidence that methyl chloride is emitted from rotting wood. However, its net flux was found to be into the soil, probably due to competing production and consumption processes within the soil. Evidence was found for a regional source, possibly vegetation, since its concentration above the canopy was substantially greater than reported average equatorial values.
