Elevated atmospheric CO2may have consequences for methane (CH4) emissions from wetlands, yet the magnitude and direction remain unpredictable, because the associated mechanisms have not been fully investigated. Here, we established anin situmacrocosm experiment to compare the effects of elevated CO2(700 ppm) on the CH4emissions from two wetlands: an intermittently inundatedCalamagrostis angustifoliamarsh and a permanently inundatedCarex lasiocarpamarsh. The elevated CO2increased CH4emissions by 27.6–57.6% in theC. angustifoliamarsh, compared to a reduction of 18.7–23.5% in theC. lasiocarpamarsh. The CO2-induced increase in CH4emissions from theC. angustifoliamarsh was paralleled with (1) increased dissolved organic carbon (DOC) released from plant photosynthesis and (2) reduced (rate of) CH4oxidation due to a putative shift in methanotrophic community composition. In contrast, the CO2-induced decrease in CH4emissions from theC. lasiocarpamarsh was associated with the increases in soil redox potential andpmoAgene abundance. We synthesized data from worldwide wetland ecosystems, and found that the responses of CH4emissions to elevated CO2was determined by the wetland water table levels and associated plant oxygen secretion capacity. In conditions with elevated CO2, plants with a high oxygen secretion capacity suppress CH4emissions while plants with low oxygen secretion capacity stimulate CH4emissions; both effects are mediated via a feedback loop involving shifts in activities of methanogens and methanotrophs.
