TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the global permafrost C pool and of the processes that might transfer this C into the atmosphere, as well as the associated ecosystem changes that occur with thawing.

TL;DR: In this article, a 6-year balance computed from continuous net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE), regular instantaneous measurements of methane (CH4) emissions, and export of dissolved organic C (DOC) from a northern ombrotrophic bog is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured net ecosystem exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) (NEE) during wet and dry summers (2000 and 2001) across a range of plant communities at Mer Bleue, a large peatland near Ottawa, southern Ontario, Canada.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured above-ground biomass at Mer Bleue, a large, raised ombrotrophic bog near Ottawa, Ont., Canada, to derive ecosystem respiration and photosynthesis, and the average aboveground biomass was 587 g m ‐2 in the bog, composed mainly of shrubs and Sphagnum capitula.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the performance of a peatland carbon simulator (PCARS) model against the tower measurements of NEE and derived ecosystem respiration (ER) and photosynthesis (PSN).
