Annual values of a methane emissions (CH4; g CH4-C m−2 y−1), b CO2 emissions as net ecosystem exchange (NEE; g CO2-C m−2 y−1), c net greenhouse gas emissions (GHG; g CO2-eq m−2 y−1), and d net ecosystem carbon balance (NECB; g CO2-C m−2 y−1). Data are grouped and averaged according to the three successional stages: 1-open water, 2-initial recolonization by emergent macrophytes, 3-establishment of a stable emergent macrophyte community.
