Coastal wetlands ·
Why
Wetlands are a significant producer of methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide, and crab burrows enhance microbial consumption of this gas.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This finding suggests that the presence of crabs in coastal wetlands plays a role in mitigating the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.
