Water level, vegetation composition, and plant productivity explain greenhouse gas fluxes in temperate cutover fens after inundation
Peat extraction leaves a land surface with a strong relief of deep cutover areas and higher ridges. Rewetting inundates the deep parts, while less deeply extracted zones remain at or above the water level. In temperate fens the flooded areas are colonized by helophytes such as <i>Eriophorum an...
