Research on CO2 Emissions from

Losses of carbon from peat lands occur in the form of CO2 emissions, methane, dissolved carbon or otherparticles, CO2 flux depending on the balance between carbon fixations by photosynthesis and it release throughrespiration in plants and peat mineralization, whole process being controlled by temperature and humidity.CO2 emissions from the two histosol studied have different values; those being even higher as the thickness ofthe peat increases.
