I'll take Methane production from biomass for $100...or something quite similar in mechanism.
It is limited to land, quite strictly, if the boundaries weren't artificially created for the graphic. The red is also confined, quite nicely in reality to what exists in the countryside, where you have the densest forest and literal mass of bio material, from undergrowth down inches into the soil to tops of trees. The red shows in other areas, and where you'd expect...actually. The Colorado range, then skipping west and north to the mountains of Utah and Idaho, but those are still islands in otherwise sparse bio mass of crops, plains grass, desert or general scrub from the Missouri/Arkansas line on west.
The intense areas even make sense for the fresh water lakes surrounded by what is largely very dense vegetation.
So.. Indeed.. Wild guess, perhaps, but Methane for $100.
