Conclusions
• Net Ecosystem Carbon Exchange is a result of close coupling between photosynthesis and respiration
• Disturbance produces an additional respiratory source• Long-term measurements are showing trends in CO2 exchange due
to ecosystem dynamics• Methane Fluxes transcend several orders of magnitude and
experience much seasonality due to modulation in water table and net primary productivity
• New opportunities to measure other traces gases, like methane, with new generation of tunable diode laser spectrometers
• Fluxes of trace gases is more complicated due to plume impaction, over small background signal, and patchy sources
