Drainage has turned peatlands from a carbon sink into one of the world's largest greenhouse gas (GHG) sources cultivated soils. We analyzed unique data set (12 peatlands, 48 sites and 122 annual budgets) mainly unpublished GHG emissions grasslands on bog fen peat as well other soils rich in soil organic (SOC) Germany. Emissions environmental variables were measured with identical methods. Site-averaged budgets surprisingly variable (29.2 ± 17.4 t CO2 -eq. ha-1 yr-1 ) partially higher than...
Drained organic soils are large sources of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) in many European and Asian countries. Therefore, these urgently need to be considered adequately accounted for when attempting decrease emissions from the Agriculture Land Use, Use Change Forestry (LULUCF) sectors. Here, we describe methodology, data results German approach measurement, reporting verification (MRV) GHG drained outline ways forward towards tracking drainage rewetting. The methodology was developed...
Abstract. Seit einigen Jahren gibt es zunehmend Studien, die, basierend auf der Untersuchung von fossilen Holzkohlen und Schneckenschalen aus Löss-Paläoboden Sequenzen, die traditionelle Vorstellung weitestgehend baumlosen Steppen im Karpaten-Becken während letzten Kaltzeit in Frage stellen. Mit unseren Arbeiten versuchen wir anhand Biomarkern einen Beitrag zu dieser Diskussion leisten herauszufinden, welches Potenzial Alkan für Rekonstruktion Vegetationsgeschichte glazialen Zyklen steckt....
Abstract. Drained organic soils are anthropogenic emission hotspots of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Most studies have focused on deep peat and peats with high carbon content. In contrast, histic Gleysols characterized by shallow layers, which left over from cutting activities or mixed mineral soil. It is unknown whether they emit less GHGs than Histosols when drained. We present the annual GHG balance grasslands for six sites nutrient-poor a (30 cm) horizon soil in Northern Germany (soil...
Due to the major environmental impact of peat-based growing media production and need lowering greenhouse gas emissions in all sectors, a wider application peat substitutes is requested. All under use have constraints associated with their properties. Therefore, preliminary test procedure for identifying new raw materials as was developed validated. By applying procedure, potential limitations cultivation are indicated, measures regulation recommended. For development four were investigated:...
Large areas of peatlands in Germany and the Netherlands are affected by drainage high nitrogen deposition. Sheep grazing is a common extensive management activity on drained peatlands, particular nature protection areas. However, input easily mineralisable material such as sheep excrements could enhance degradation soil organic carbon (Corg), thereby increasing effect these ecosystems national GHG budgets. Thus, microcosm experiment influence excreta emissions from histic Gleysol with...
