Upland trees can serve as a net sink for atmospheric methane, with woody surfaces, particularly above 2 m from the forest floor, dominating the net ecosystem contribution and resulting in a significant global methane uptake.

Studies of in situ woody surface methane exchange in upland tropical, temperate and boreal forest trees find that methane uptake can result in a net tree methane sink&nbsp;that is globally significant and&nbsp;demonstrates&nbsp;an&nbsp;additional climate benefit provided by trees.
