Project
Joint research project 'Organic soils'
Joint research project 'Organic soils'
Accounting for 2-5% of the German greenhouse gas emissions, drained peatlands are the largest single source besides the energy sector. Thus, the compilation of the national greenhouse gas inventory according to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change requires the application of country-specific emission factors depending on climate region, soil type and land use as well as a complete set of activity data. The joint research project ?Organic Spoils?, which is financed by the vTI and coordin
Background and Objective
Main objectives of the project are the country wide acquisition of activity data – soil properties, hydrology and land use – and the measurements of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane emissions from organic soils under different land uses, soils and hydrological conditions.
Target Group
Policy makers in the fields of climate change, land-use and nature conservation, practitioners, interest groups on greenhouse gases
Approach
The project will assemble comprehensive knowledge on the status of organic soils in Germany and their greenhouse gas emissions and thus facilitate an improved compilation of the national greenhouse gas inventory. Furthermore, the emission reduction potentials by different land use and management activities will be determined and management scenarios will be implemented to support scientific policy advice.
Results
Results of the joint project have been published in numerous publications (see selection below).
