Vegetation Matters: Correcting Chamber Carbon Flux Measurements Using Plant Volumes

This research paper evaluates the impact of including plant volume in chamber carbon flux measurements, specifically focusing on peatland dwarf shrub vegetation, and proposes a non-destructive method for field volume estimation.

• The inclusion of plant volumes in chamber flux calculations significantly impacts the resulting flux measurements, with the effect increasing as plants occupy a larger proportion of the chamber volume.
• Plant volumes can be accurately measured non-destructively in the field provided there is an initial destructive laboratory assessment for each plant species and some practice in volume estimation.
