These measurements, combined with simulation modeling of annual fluxes of CO, showed that papyrus swamps have the potential to sequester large amounts of the carbon ( 1. 6 kg C m-2 y-1 ) when detritus accumulates under water in anaerobic conditions, but they are a net source of carbon release to the atmosphere ( 1. 0 kg C m-2 y-1 ) when water levels fall to expose detritus and rhizomes to aerobic conditions.

Evapotranspiration from papyrus swamps was frequently lower than evaporation from open water surfaces and plant factors have a strong influence on the flux of water to the atmosphere.
