Description
Summary:[Display omitted] •Precipitation and relative humidity reduce fugitive methane emissions.•The air temperature is the most relevant factor to recover methane.•Well-maintained cover layers are crucial to boosting methane recovery.•The higher values of methane recovered are strongly correlated with heavy rainfall.•The dry seasons of the year are unfavorable for methane recovery.
