Abstract

Shifting precipitation patterns due to climate change may impact peatland methane (CH4) emissions, as precipitation affects water table level which largely controls CH4 cycling. To investigate the impact of variable precipitation on peatland CH4 emissions, we measured CH4 fluxes and their 13C isotope composition (δ13C–CH4) across two summers marked by drought (2020) and heavy precipitation (2021) in a northern temperate poor fen in New Hampshire, USA. Monthly variation in CH4 fluxes and δ13C–CH4 was larger than interannual variation and variation between peatland microforms. While the seasonal pattern of CH4 emissions was not significantly different between years, the magnitude of seasonal changes in CH4 flux and δ13C–CH4 provided insight regarding the processes controlling CH4 emissions. Between July and August 2020, water table levels dropped > 15 cm, CH4 emissions decreased by an order of magnitude, and δ13C–CH4 increased ~ 10‰, suggesting lower water table levels promoted CH4 oxidation and reduced emissions in late summer. Rainstorms in July 2021 caused flooding and stimulated high CH4 emissions, but the impact of increased water table levels due to heavy precipitation on CH4 fluxes was transient and did not have an apparent effect on emitted δ13C–CH4. While drought conditions had a clear impact on CH4 fluxes and δ13C–CH4, our results suggest rainstorms and subsequent flooding do not have a sustained impact on CH4 emissions from temperate peatlands.
