Short summary
We studied how off-season waterlogging affects CO2 fluxes and dissolved carbon dynamics in cultivated boreal mineral soils. The study was conducted with intact soil profiles in a greenhouse. Waterlogging reduced immediate CO2 efflux, but CO2 accumulated in porewater and was released to the atmosphere upon soil drying. Cumulative emissions remained unaltered. Our results suggest that temporary waterlogging does not suppress total CO₂ production in mineral soils as much as commonly assumed.
