The purpose of this research was to determine the magnitude and direction of carbon exchange resulting from a boreal forest being flooded for hydroelectric purposes and to determine the net reservoir effect. In this study, carbon dioxide fluxes were measured from March 29th 2007 to November 30th 200...
