The methane emission in a loess-gravel capillary barrier cover (CBC) in winter and summer was investigated by constructing a full-scale testing facility (20 m × 30 m) with a slope angle of 14.5° at a landfill in Xi'an, China. Weather conditions, methane emission, gas concentration, temperature, and volumetric water content (VWC) in the CBC were measured. The temperature and moisture in the CBC showed a typical seasonal pattern of warm and dry in summer and cold and wet in winter. Accordingly, the maximum methane oxidation rate and methane emission were higher in summer. The mean methane influx and methane emission decreased significantly as the VWC increased beyond 40% (i.e., a degree of saturation 0.85) at a depth of 0.85 m, which was near the loess/gravel interface. At this depth, more water was presented in the loess layer in the downslope direction due to capillary barrier effects, which increased the upslope methane emission. More dominant methane emission in the middle- and upper-section of the CBC occurred in summer than in winter as there was less soil moisture to facilitate methane transfer. The LFG balance showed that a significant fraction of the loaded LFG was not accounted in the flux chamber measurements due to the preferential flow along the edges of the CBC. The maximum methane oxidation rate was 93.3 g CH4 m-2 d-1, indicating the loess-gravel CBC could mitigate methane emissions after landfill closure.
