A Predictive Algorithm For Wetlands In Deep Time Paleoclimate Models [PDF]
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas produced in wetland environments via microbial action in anaerobic conditions. If the location and extent of wetlands are unknown, such as for the Earth many millions of years in the past, a model of wetland fraction ...

Hydrological Conditions Affect the Interspecific Interaction between Two Emergent Wetland Species
Hydrological conditions determine the distribution of plant species in wetlands, where conditions such as water depth and hydrological fluctuations are expected to affect the interspecific interactions among emergent wetland species. To test such effects,

Focus on the impact of climate change on wetland ecosystem and carbon dynamics [PDF]
The renewed growth in atmospheric methane (CH4)since 2007 after a decade of stabilization has drawn much attention to its causes and future trends. Wetlands are the single largest source of atmospheric CH4.
