Inter-annual comparison of GHG fluxes to understand response to climate change

A new paper from Keane et al. uses data a single SkyLine2D system that was deployed in a Fen in Sweden for over two years to understand the response of carbon-rich ecosystem to drought conditions.

The fieldsite is part of the University of Gothenburg’s renowned Skogaryd Research Station, and is an example of the vast spread of northern peatlands across Eurasia which has a critical role in long-term storage of carbon, and as an active sink of atmospheric CO2. These functions are why it is vital to undertake experiments in representative conditions and, in this case, make use of the widespread drought that was experienced across Sweden during 2018 - in order to monitor ecosystem response and recovery to drought years.
