Short summary

Emission via bubbling, i.e. ebullition, is one of the main CH₄ emission pathways from wetlands to the atmosphere, yet it is still coarsely represented in wetland CH₄ models. In this study three ebullition modelling approaches are evaluated. Modeled annual CH₄ emissions were similar, whereas temporal variability in CH₄ emissions varied an order of magnitude between the approaches. Hence realistic description of ebullition is needed when models are compared to and calibrated against measurements.
