Conteúdo: 	Measurements of the composition of sediment gas bubbles and of methane emission from emergent plants in the Pantanal wetland of Brazil indicate that savanna floodplains with inundation depths > 1 m have high rates of methane emission by ebullition compared with emission by rooted emergent plants. High rates of methane production and ebullition result in high concentrations of methane in sediment bubbles, which often contained > 50% methane by volume at the deeper ( > 1m) sampling sites. The rooted emergent plants typical of the deeper waters had low rates of methane emission (0.0-0.2 mg/d) compared to species typical of inundation depths < 1m (1.6-7.5 mg/d). The high rates of ebullition in the deeper vegetated waters of the Pantanal contrast with results from shallower rice fields and temperate wetlands,in which plant-mediated transport appears to be the dominant mode of methane emission. The elongated stems of rooted emergent plants tend to predominate in tropical wetlands with inundation depths > 1m are evidently much less effective in the transport of methane from the sediments to the atmosphere than are the emergent stems of plants that grow in shallower waters.
