This study compares the CH 4 fluxes from two arctic wetland sites of different annual temperatures during 2004 to 2006. The PEATLAND-VU model was used to simulate the emissions. The CH 4 module of PEATLAND-VU is based on the Walter-Heimann model. The first site is located in northeast Siberia, Indig...
