Wetland ecosystems carbon cycle

Organic carbon and inorganic carbon are the two major forms present in soil-water-plant components of wetland ecosystem. Carbon cycle in this system can be depicted as a storage of carbon in major reservoirs, which serve as either a source or a sink, and flux between reservoirs (Figure 5.3). The reservoirs of carbon in a wetland can be grouped as follows ...
