Carbon exchange over four growing seasons for a subarctic sedge fen in northern Manitoba, Canada
Net ecosystem exchange of carbon was measured using eddy covariance for four growing seasons at a subarctic hummocky fen in northern Manitoba, Canada. Over a 115 day measurement period each year, cumulative net ecosystem exchange of carbon ranged from a gain of 49 g C m−2 to a loss of 16 g C m−2 wit...
