The role of agricultural intensification in modulating ecosystem properties of embedded subtropical wetlands
Natural wetlands are unique ecosystems that offer substantial services to the surrounding landscape, are host to immense biodiversity, and are the largest global emitters of biogenic methane to the atmosphere. The unique nature of wetland ecosystems cater to an extensive diversity of microorganisms …
