Carbon Accumulation Flashcards
0
Q
NPP, DIC, DOC, POC highest to lowest:
A
Swamps & marshes ➡️ fens ➡️ bogs.
1
Q
NPP in swamps & marshes is usually
A
Greater than in fens, which is greater than in bogs.
2
Q
Swamps and marshes have a stronger connection to the
A
Regional groundwater or through flow and therefore a higher carbon input than peatlands.
3
Q
Peatlands accumulate carbon due to low
A
Decomp rates and low leaching losses, dispute the low NPP.
4
Q
Swamps and marshes accumulate carbon due to high
A
NPP, even though there are high carbon losses through leaching.
