To understand methane (CH4) dynamics in tropical lakes and describe their importance in overall CH4 emissions, we observed temporal trends of CH4 stored in the water columns of Philippine lakes of different depths (shallow, moderately deep, and deep). We detected higher CH4 stored in profundal anoxi...
