Measurements of methane and carbon dioxide fluxes from wetland ecosystems of the Southern Taiga of West Siberia

The ecosystem-atmosphere exchange of methane and carbon dioxide were measured during the summer campaigns 2014 – 2017 in Plotnikovo (N56°51’, E82°51’) on the wetland Flux-NIES automatic chamber complexes. Eleven vegetative groups on the bog’s surface and one lake site were taken in comparison. The objective of these particular measurements was to estimate the growing season carbon fluxes at sedge fen and on hollow-ridges nearby lake at Siberia ecosystems. The carbon balance of these ecosystems deeply relies on the peat wetness. Another objective was the integration of carbon fluxes from aquatic systems into terrestrial ones, in order to quantify and better understand the catchment scale carbon budget.
