Carbon balance of a temperate poor fen. Global Biogeochemical Cycles 11(3): 349-356.
Description
Net ecosystem carbon exchange rates ranged from -192 to 492 mg C m-2 h-1 and the ecosystem respiration measurements were between -10 and -365 mg C m-2 h-1. Negative values represent loss of carbon from the system. Results of the carbon balance model suggest that the wetland lost an estimated 145 g C m-2 for the 9 month modelling period (April through December). The 1994 climate season was warmer (+1.15 ° C/month) and drier (-12.3 cm) than the 30 year normals.
