Abstract:This study was aimed toward better understanding on the characteristics in the mineralization of organic C in wetland sediments affected by temperature, which is one of the most important determining the accumulation and decomposition of organic C in terestial ecosystems. Sediments from 3 types of wetlands (fen, marsh, and marshy meadow) in the San-jiang Plate region of North China were incubated for 260 d under 5 temperature regimes (10℃, 15℃, 20℃, 25℃ and 30℃) or treated with 7 cycles of freezing (at -18℃...
