Short summary
Global change, specifically sea-level rise and longer growing seasons, have the potential to affect how much methane is emitted from coastal wetlands. Our study found that sea-level rise is likely to reduce methane emissions in the long term, but longer growing seasons could provide more plant matter that fuels and thereby enhances methane production. Future methane emissions from wetlands will be shaped by the quality and quantity of plant matter as well as the microbial communities present.
