- Abstract
The article presents a study on the effect of lowering the water table during summer in carbon dioxide (CO2) (C) emissions and uptake in a fen in Germany. It says that the total C emissions were calculated during longer periods by integrating over the time intervals. Results show that lowering the water table had no effect on C emissions and the assimilation and respiration of minerotrophic fen were not affected by the waterlogging, which indicates the lack of anoxia or drought.
