Аннотация:Methane fluxes trough plants were monitored in Big Vasyuganskoe Bog,
Tomsk Region, West Siberia summer 1998-1999 using micro chamber method.
The intensity of methane fluxes differed from species to species and also
was dependent on the season. The results obtained in the experiments with
individual plants correlated with the data observed on the sampling areas
with the domination of the same species. Methane oxidation was estimated by
stable isotope analysis of methane. Maximum of oxidation and minimum of
emission were in soil under Eriophorum vaginatum and Menyanthes
trifoliata. Minimum of oxidation and maximum of emission were observed
under Carex rostrata and Equisetum palustre. Increase of methane
emission was observed at the end of the summer. Up to 60% of total methane
emission was plant-mediated transport.
