Greenhouse gas emissions of peatlands
Methodology for the assessment of climate relevance – case study Zehlau peatland
The results of the estimations and scenarios in the case study clearly demonstrate that a consequent preservation of the peatland would minimize its Global Warming Potential (GWP). Though emissions, especially of methane, would still lead to a positive GWP, it would be significantly lower than under the present strongly degraded status quo of the peatland. Also a scenario of a complete mineralizat…weiterlesen
