AIMS: Plants have been suggested to have significant effects on methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) fluxes from littoral wetlands, but it remains unclear in subtropical lakes. METHODS: We conducted in situ measurement of CH₄ and N₂O fluxes for two years. To distinguish between the effects of shoot...
