Peatlands are among the largest stocks of soil carbon, which can be stored for thousands of years under well-wetted conditions. The main goals of the study were to assess annual and seasonal CO₂ balances of a temperate peatland and the main biophysical factors affecting these CO₂ fluxes. The studied peatland was usually a CO₂ sink with a mean annual net ecosystem production (NEP) of 110±83 gCO₂-C·m⁻²·yr⁻¹ and extreme balances in 2006 (-17 gCO₂-C·m⁻²·yr⁻¹) and 2011 (194 gCO₂-C·m⁻²·yr⁻¹). Annual fluxes were not significantly correlated with biophysical variables, unlike seasonal data. Furthermore, the average air temperature in spring and summer was related to NEP at r²=0.65 and r²=0.61, respectively (warmer spring increased NEP while hot summer decreased NEP in these seasons). A decrease in daytime measured NEP during the summer period (June-August) was observed when TA exceeded 25 °C or VPD was above 15 hPa, respectively, due to the growing R_eco and possibly plant photorespiration. These findings suggest a negative impact of ongoing global warming on temperate peatland CO₂ balances.

泥炭地是最大的土壤碳库之一，在湿润条件下可以储存数千年。该研究的主要目标是评估温带泥炭地的年度和季节性 CO _{2平衡以及影响这些 CO 2}通量的主要生物物理因素。所研究的泥炭地通常是一个 CO ₂汇，年平均净生态系统产量 (NEP) 为 110±83 gCO ₂ -C·m ^-2 ·yr ^-1和 2006 年的极端平衡 (-17 gCO ₂ -C·m ^{- 2} ·yr ⁻¹ ) 和 2011 (194 gCO ₂ -C·m ⁻² ·yr ⁻¹). 与季节性数据不同，年度通量与生物物理变量没有显着相关性。此外，春季和夏季的平均气温与 NEP 相关，分别为 r ² =0.65 和 r ² =0.61（温暖的春季增加了 NEP，而炎热的夏季降低了这些季节的 NEP）。当 TA 超过 25 °C 或 VPD 高于 15 hPa 时，观察到夏季（6 月至 8 月）白天测量的 NEP 减少，这是由于 R eco 和可能的植物光呼吸的_增长。_{这些发现表明持续的全球变暖对温带泥炭地 CO 2}平衡有负面影响。
