Swamps, which are characterized by woody vegetation cover, represent large areas of North America鈥檚 wetlands, and are comparatively understudied and largely missing from greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories. A better understanding of swamp carbon stocks and fluxes, and how they vary from other wetland types, is required to support improved wetland mapping and climate and earth system modelling efforts.This study shows the importance of swamps for wetland carbon storage and important carbon cycling differences among swamp types. It demonstrates that regardless of organic versus mineral swamp definitions, all swamp types are important in terms of carbon accumulation and fluxes.
