Short summary
We have developed a simple mathematical model to investigate how water levels, soil temperature, and plant carbon inputs control methane release from wetlands through production and consumption in the soil. The model captures seasonal and inter-annual variations in emissions and identifies conditions, particularly water depth, that maximise emissions, depending on wetland characteristics. This work supports predicting greenhouse gas fluxes and guiding wetland management and restoration.
