Abstract
The data on the measurements of vertical methane fluxes in the meso-oligotrophic peatland of middle taiga subzone with the use of the eddy–covariance technique was presented. It was established that the rate of methane emission depended on water table level and soil temperature at the depth of 15 cm. The overall methane emission from April to October was 22.4 g m–2, which is higher than the results of measurements made by other authors for peatland ecosystems of circumboreal zone.
