Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates carbon fluxes in tundra ecosystems in northeast European Russia from 2006 to 2015, focusing on both CO2 and CH4 emissions across different land types.
- Results show significant variation, with CO2 emissions ranging from net uptake in willow fens to minimal emission in dry lichen tundra, while CH4 emissions were substantially higher in wetlands.
- Using high-resolution land cover data indicated that the region was overall a net sink for CO2 but a net source for CH4, highlighting the critical role of wetlands in carbon cycling.
