Vegetated coastal ecosystems (VCEs; ie, mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses) play a
critical role in global carbon (C) cycling, storing 10× more C than temperate forests. Methane …

Methane (CH4) emissions from tropical wetlands represent half of the global wetland
emissions, but uncertainties remain concerning the extent of tropical methane sources. One …

Chinese mangrove, an important ecosystem in coastal wetlands, is sensitive to the invasive
alien species Spartina alterniflora. However, the effects of the S. alterniflora invasion on …

Plant invasion imposes significant threats to biodiversity and ecosystem function. Thus,
monitoring the spatial pattern of invasive plants is vital for effective ecosystem management …

Plant invasion and aquaculture activities have drastically modified the landscape of coastal
wetlands in many countries, but their impacts on soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization …

Coastal wetland soils serve as a great C sink or source, which highly depends on soil
carbon flux affected by complex hydrology in relation to salinity. We conducted a field …

It has been reported that the invasion of Spartina alterniflora changed the soil microbial
community in the mangrove ecosystem in China, especially the bacterial community …

Plant invasion increases methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions, however, the
changes of soil functional microbes governing CH 4 and N 2 O emissions are poorly …

Mangrove wetlands are one of the most productive ecosystems and store large amounts of
organic carbon (blue carbon). However, mangrove wetlands have been invaded by S …

Wetlands play a crucial role in reducing global warming potential in response to global
climate change. Large-scale reclamation and artificial restoration of coastal wetlands …
