What is Methane flux from Minnesota Peatlands about?
Northern (>40øN) wetlands have been suggested as the largest natural source of methane (CH4) to the troposphere. To refine our estimates of source strengths from this region and to investigate climatic controls on the process, fluxes were measured from a variety of Minnesota peatlands during May, June, and August 1986. Sites included forested and unforested ombrotrophic bogs and minerotrophic fens in and near the U.S. Department of Agriculture Marcell Experimental Forest and the Red Lake peatlands. Late spring and summer fluxes ranged from 11 to 866 mg CH4 m -2 d -1, averaging 207 mg CH4 m -2 d -1 overall. At Marcell Forest, forested bogs and fen sites had lower fluxes (averages of 77 + 21 mg CH4 m -2 d -1 and 142 + 19 mg CH4 m -2 d -1) than open bogs (average of 294 + 30 mg CH4 m -2 d-l). In the Red Lake peatland, circumneutral fens, with standing water above the peat surface, produced more methane than acid bog sites in which the water table was beneath the moss surface (325 + 31 and 102 + 13 mg CH4 m -2 d -1, re-
