Methane was emitted throughout the warm months. When water was stratified (a layer of warm water sitting on top of cold waters), methane built up and led to overall higher emissions than when water was mixed by wind or sudden cooling.

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.
