Abstract Methane (CH 4 ) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) with atmospheric concentrations that have nearly tripled since pre‐industrial times. Wetlands account for large share of global CH emissions, yet the magnitude and factors controlling fluxes in tidal wetlands remain uncertain. We synthesized flux data from 100 chamber 9 eddy covariance (EC) sites across marshes conterminous United States to assess improve predictions emissions. This effort included creating an open‐source database...
Summary Predicting the fate of coastal marshes requires understanding how plants respond to rapid environmental change. Environmental change can elicit shifts in trait variation attributable phenotypic plasticity and act as selective agents shift means, resulting evolution. Comparably, less is known about potential for responses reflect evolution plasticity. Here, we assessed relative magnitude eco‐evolutionary interacting global factors using a multifactorial experiment. We exposed...
There has been a steady rise in the use of dormant propagules to study biotic responses environmental change over time. This is particularly important for organisms that strongly mediate ecosystem processes, as changes their traits time can provide unique snapshot into structure and function ecosystems from decades millennia past. Understanding sources bias variation challenge field resurrection ecology, including those arise because often-used measurements like seed germination success are...
