Summary

The paper presents experimental data (methane fluxes in North Taiga) which are the components of "standard model" Aa3. The medians of methane fluxes (mgC·m^-2·h^-1) are: for palsa - 0.008, for ridges (of ridge-hollow complexes) and ryams - 0.000, for oligotrophic hollows - 1.163, for peat mats - 3.698, for poor fens - 2.873 and for lakes - 1.395. All abovementioned values relate only to "period of methane emission" which is 138 days in North Taiga.
