Vegetative processes, particularly phenology, significantly control methane (CH4) emissions from tropical wetlands. This study highlights that in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, phenological cycles of vegetation like papyrus modulate net CH4 emissions on various timescales, underscoring the need to include vegetative dynamics in CH4 emission models.
