17 Conclusions In a situation with low water level, the presence of any kind of litter decreases the CO2 production at -35 cm. In a situation with low water level, the presence of any kind of litter decreases the methane production at -35 cm. Under intermediate water level conditions Sphagnum litter drastically decreased the in-situ methane flux. The Sphagnum litter turnover time is higher under intermediate water level conditions. There are more methanotrophs where more methane is produced! ;-) The surface CO2 fluxes in WPIII are strongly positively correlated to the basal respiration at -15 cm depth and negatively correlated to the methanogenesis at -15 cm depth. And inversely! The surface CH4 fluxes are negatively correlated to the CO2 production at -7.5 cm depth. D11, D14, D16, D20, D21, D23 A.Siegenthaler, RECIPE meeting Aberdeen 29-31 May 2006

18 Achievements during 2005/06 Andy (A), Emanuela (Em) Em: terminated the surface gas flux measurements (NEE, Rtot, PG) at la Chuax-d’Abel. A&Em: surface methane fluxes Chaux-d’Abel during 2005. FISH hybridisation for WPI - methodological improvement and counting of methanogens and eubacteria. Em: finished her master’s research and graduated in May 2006. A+all: WPII sampling and dispatching in July 2005. A&Em: WPIII surface fluxes, harvesting, sampling, dispatching, incubations in autumn 2005. A: WPII basal respiration for Baupt samples (monovette). A: re-analysed delta 13C-CO2 and delta 13C-CH4 of the surface samples using a supplementary cryogenic step to improve accuracy for methane. A:WPIII surface samples basal respiration for the short term decomposition experiment. A: recounting whole community in WPI with inverted microscopic (total 18 from the 27 samples. A&Em: WPII (FR): basal respiration (monovette) and FISH hybridisations for methanotrophs. A.Siegenthaler, RECIPE meeting Aberdeen 29-31 May 2006
