Stronger increase of methane emissions from coastal wetlands by non-native Spartina alterniflora than non-native Phragmites australis_RawData.xlsx

In a meta-analysis, we investigated the impact of two invasive species, Spartina alterniflora and Phragmites australis, on coastal wetlands and found an increase in methane emissions, with Phragmites having a lesser effect. We show that the drivers of these increased emissions may be related to individual plant traits rather than sources of organic matter.

本研究通过元分析（meta-analysis），探究了互花米草（Spartina alterniflora）与芦苇（Phragmites australis）两种入侵物种对滨海湿地的影响，结果发现甲烷排放显著升高，且芦苇的影响相对更弱。研究表明，此类排放增加的驱动因子或与植物个体性状相关，而非有机质来源。
