Deciphering the microbial contributors to methane cycling in coastal wetlands

Sophie K. Jurgensen, Djennyfer Karolaine de Melo Ferreira, Robert Bordelon, Diana Taj, Ikaia Leleiwi, Jared Ellenbogen, Bridget B. McGivern, Sergio L. Merino, Gil Bohrer, Eric J. Ward, Mikayla A. Borton, Kelly C. Wrighton, Jorge A. Villa
