Abstract
Mangrove wetlands contribute to climate change mitigation through efficient carbon burial, yet microbial methanogenesis offsets these climate benefits. We review the diversity of methanogenic microorganisms in mangrove sediments, present the unrecognized role of bacteria on methanogenesis, and highlight the significance of distinguishing various methanogenic pathways to assess mangrove climate benefits.
