Short summary

We studied GHG emissions along water-level gradients of two inundated cutover fens with closed chambers. N₂O fluxes were negligible. CO₂ and CH₄ fluxes were controlled by vegetation composition and plant productivity, which in turn depended on water level and nutrient conditions. CH₄ fluxes from mesotrophic sites were low and largely compensated for by CO₂ uptake. Eutrophic sites were strong CH₄ sources, and GHG balances depended on the plant's net C sink, which strongly differed between species.
