Abstract Wetlands are the largest emitters of biogenic methane (CH4) and represent the highest source of uncertainty in global CH4 budgets. Here, we aim to improve the realism of wetland representation in the U.S. Department of Energy's Exascale Earth System Model land surface model, ELM, thereby reducing uncertainty of CH4 flux predictions. We develop

Pairwise trait correlations in 1990 and 2011 were higher in MZ than in DZ pairs. The cross‐twin cross‐time correlations were higher in MZ twins than in DZ twins, but less than the cross‐sectional MZ and DZ pairwise correlations. (A) (MZ) and (B) (DZ). Pairwise trait correlations (in green, A), longitudinal correlations (in red, B) and cross‐twin cross ...
