AbstractAbstract

[en] CO₂ fluxes were measured by the eddy covariance method from the mid of spring until the first snow fall (17 May to 25 September 2002) above a drained wet land in the Swiss central Alps. The impact of agricultural management on the CO₂ budget is quantified on fields used as pasture or meadow. Cattle grazing and grass cut reduced the CO₂ uptake significantly. (author)
