		The diurnal variations of these gases and of CH4 due to micrometeorological conditions, as well as their dependence on various soil sources and vegetation types, were used to estimate ecosystem fluxes of CO2 and CH4.
		The highest soil flux of CH4 was 70 +/- 35 mu mol m(-2) h 1 for the wet habitats of the West Siberian lowlands, and the lowest CH4 flux was 3.2 +/- 1.6 mu mol m(-2) h(-1) for drier habitats of eastern Siberia.
		Conversely, while background CO levels of the West Siberian wetlands were generally below 140 nmol/mol, high CO concentrations, once even exceeding 2 mumol/mol, were registered east of Chita (similar to52degreesN, 113degreesE), as a consequence of forest and other vegetation fires, which significantly affect the chemical composition of the air over parts of Russia.
