Wetlands are fundamentally open ecosystems that exchange gases, dissolved compounds, and particulate matter with the atmosphere, surrounding terrestrial ecosystems, and aquatic environments. A simple mass balance perspective illustrates that whatever autochthonous and allochthonous carbon is exported from a wetland is, necessarily, not preserved within the wetland (Fig. 3.1). Management actions can manipulate the factors that cause carbon loss in order to reduce carbon export or change the form of exported carbon to a more climatically benign form.
