Sammendrag

Carbon dioxide and methane -besides water vapor the most powerful greenhouse gases - have been increasing rapidly in recent decades. A huge reservoir of both gases is stored in boreal soils including permafrost, and a major change in the carbon balance of this reservoir might have dramatic impacts on future climate change. So far, Norway has lacked any infrastructure to assess fluxes of both gases from unique boreal ecosystems, e.g., sub-arctic peatlands exposed to oceanic climate. In spring 2008, Bioforsk, SERC and NILU started an initiative to fill this gap by establishing a flux tower station in the Dverberg peatlands on the island of Andøya in Northern Norway. The site is especially suited for such studies, because it extends an existing flux measurement infrastructure in Abisko, N-Sweden and Sodankylä, N-Finland to include an ecosystem with comparatively mild climate, compared to the Alpine Arctic climate of Abisko and the continental- subarctic climate of Sodankylä.
