TY - T1 - Influence of Vegetation Removal and Altering Water Levels on CO2 Flux Rates of a Northern Bog SN - / UR - URN:NBN:fi:hulib-201507212098; http://hdl.handle.net/10138/40719 T3 - A1 - Matkala, Laura A2 - PB - Helsingfors universitet Y1 - 2013 LA - eng AB - Boreal peatlands contain approximately one third of the global soil carbon and are considered net sinks of atmospheric CO2. Water level position is one of the main regulators of CO2 fluxes in northern peatlands because it controls both the thickness of the aerobic layer in peat and plant communities. However, little is known about the role of different plant functional groups and their possible interaction with changing water level in boreal peatlands with regard to CO2 cycling.
