Information About Author:

The paper presents experimental data on the methane fluxes from West Siberian tundra mires in summer and winter periods. The possibility of the methane adsorption by the snow cover is discussed. The regional flux from the whole region is estimated with the «standard model» Bc7 as 0.16 MtСH4/year that accounts for around 5 % of the total West Siberian mires methane emission.

Keywords: methane emission, snow cover adsorption, regional flux, tundra, West Siberia
