Abstract
The efficiency of the regulating functions of bogs and forests of the middle taiga of Western Siberia is compared. Indicators of CO2 absorption in bog and forest ecosystems of different regions (Canada, Tomsk Region, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug–Yugra) and long-term monitoring data from the "Mukhrino" station are analyzed. A summary table of CO2 absorption coefficients (t/ha•year) for the compared ecosystems is compiled. It is shown that, recalculated per hectare, bogs and forests annually absorb comparable volumes of CO2. Conclusions are formulated on the necessity of bog conservation and sustainable forest management as elements of nature-based climate solutions.
