Net ecosystem exchange and energy fluxes measured with the eddy covariance technique in a western Siberian bog

摘要

pstrongAbstract./strong Very few studies of ecosystema??atmosphere exchange involving eddy covariance data have been conducted in Siberia, with none in the western Siberian middle taiga. This work provides the first estimates of carbon dioxide (COsub2/sub) and energy budgets in a typical bog of the western Siberian middle taiga based on Maya??August measurements in 2015. The footprint of measured fluxes consisted of a homogeneous mixture of tree-covered ridges and hollows with the vegetation represented by typical sedges and shrubs. Generally, the surface exchange rates resembled those of pine-covered bogs elsewhere. The surface energy balance closure approached 100span class="thinspace"/span%. Net COsub2/sub uptake was comparatively high, summing up to 202span class="thinspace"/spangCspan class="thinspace"/spanmsupa??2/sup for the four measurement months, while the Bowen ratio was seasonally stable at 28span class="thinspace"/span%. The ecosystem turned into a net COsub2/sub source during several front passage events in June and July. The periods of heavy rain helped keep the water table at a sustainably high level, preventing a usual drawdown in summer. However, because of the cloudy and rainy weather, the observed fluxes might rather represent the special weather conditions of 2015 than their typical magnitudes./p.
