Abstract

Due to their disproportionately high soil carbon stores, understanding the response of wetlands to changes in climate that have already been observed is a key issue. Of particular importance is determining contemporary changes in their carbon budget, including net ecosystem exchange (NEE). However, due to the high inter-annual variability of this element both the determination of a realistic multiannual mean, and identification of trends, require several decades of measurements. Available NEE data sets rarely meet this requirement. To overcome this problem a modeling approach can be used. However, the use of complex models may be limited by the availability of input data. Consequently, single indicators or simple semi-empirical models using a small set of commonly monitored variables may be a more suitable option.
