Effects of birch encroachment, water table and vegetation on methane emissions from peatland microforms in a rewetted bog

Abstract This study investigated the influence of vegetation and microforms on methane (CH4) balances of a rewetted bog in north-west Germany. The two study sites are in close proximity on the same former peat extraction area, one dominated by Sphagnum-mosses and the other one by a dense Betula pube...
