QuestionMeasurements of ecosystem carbon (C) exchange are usually labour‐intensive and expensive. In peatlands, these temporally and spatially limited measurements are often up‐scaled over comparable ecosystems, such as ombrotrophic bogs, to provide an estimate for ecosystem level carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes. Peatlands typically have moisture variations reflected in the presence of microforms (e.g. hummocks and hollows), each with characteristic plant life forms. However, so far the applicability of peatland type (e.g. bog, fen) or microforms for up‐scaling has not been assessed. Does the vegetation composition or function of associated species differ so greatly between the same types of peatland that up‐scaling is impossible?LocationFive ombrotrophic bogs in Northern Europe; in Ireland, Finland and western Russia.MethodsWe described the variation in vegetation of microforms within and between ombrotrophic bogs using multivariate analyses. Thereafter, we measured CO2exchange at different microforms and evaluated the relationship between vegetation structure and the light response of photosynthesis.ResultsOur results show that the community composition of hummocks, lawns and hollows was rather uniform at the plant life‐form level. The photosynthetic capacity per leaf area unit was quite similar within microform classes over the different bogs. The observed differences between sites in capacity were mainly related to variation in leaf area.ConclusionsA reliable estimate of ecosystem‐level photosynthesis requires knowledge of the proportion of different microforms in an area and the leaf area characteristics for each microform in the year(s) in question. Assessments of ecosystem‐level photosynthesis are important with regard to current and future changes in climate, as the most dramatic changes in peatlands involve water level drawdown, which in turn is likely to lead to changes in the relative proportions of microforms within peatlands.
