Biogeochemical carbon dynamics govern the ability of peatlands to storecarbon. The processes controlling the balance between the photosyntheticuptake of C02 and respiration of C02 and CH4 back to the atmosphere remainunclear. A process-based ecosystem biogeochemical study, encompassing tracegas flux measurements, laboratory chemical analyses and field analyses, wasundertaken in order to better understand the carbon dynamics of borealCanadian peatlands.
