Evaluation of Meadow-Boggy Soil Respiration of the Delta Selenga River(Western Transbaikalia)
Result of the investigation of the growing season 2007–2014 (may–september) for carbon dioxide emissions from meadow-boggy soils of the delta Selenga river of lake Baikal basin (Western Transbaikalia) was shown. Depending on the combination of hydrothermal regime of soil and weather conditions investigated soils emit 315–402 g C/m<sup>2</sup>. The interannual variability of the total seasonal carbon dioxide fluxes was 14%. A determining role in the changes of the rate of release of CO<sub>2</sub> from the soil during the growing season was the temperature of the soil.
