Short summary

Dynamic SOC and N stocks in the aerobic zone play a key role in the regulation of plant- and microbially mediated CO2 and CH4 fluxes in drained and cultivated fen peatlands. Their interaction with the groundwater level (GWL) strongly influenced soil C gas exchange, indicating effects of GWL-dependent N availability on C formation and transformation processes in the plant--soil system. In contrast, static SOC and N stocks showed no significant effect on C gas fluxes.
