Abstract
Here is a commentary on “Methane Fluxes in Tidal Marshes of the Contiguous United States” recently published in Global Change Biology . Tidal wetlands are distinctive ecosystems with highly diverse species composition and complex, flexible environments. Thus, it is critical to accurately determine CH 4 emissions from tidal wetlands in a changing climate. This study provides a very valuable data set to further explore the patterns, responses, and adaptation of CH 4 fluxes in different tidal wetland ecosystems. We look forward to future research to further explore the unique processes and mechanisms of methane emissions in tidal wetlands in the future.
