Jan Oestmann et al.: Experimental warming increased greenhouse gas emissions of a near-natural peatland and Sphagnum farming sites

Sophie Drexler et al.: Benchmarking soil organic carbon to support agricultural carbon management: A German case study

ICOS, the Integrated Carbon Observation System, is a European research infrastructure for the observation of greenhouse gases in terrestrial ecosystems, atmosphere, and oceans. The German contribution is coordinated at Thünen Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture (AK). A concise overview article…

The joint research project SWAMPS investigated the effects of water management at intensively used grassland sites on agronomic parameters, greenhouse gas emissions, water quality and biodiversity.

Christopher Poeplau, Roland Prietz, Axel Don: Plot-scale variability of organic carbon in temperate agricultural soils - Implications for soil monitoring

Christian Brümmer et al.: Reactive nitrogen fluxes over peatland and forest ecosystems using micrometeorological measurement techniques

Pascal Wintjen et al.: Forest–atmosphere exchange of reactive nitrogen in a remote region – Part I: Measuring temporal dynamics

Juan Carlos Quezada, Thomas Guillaume, Christopher Poeplau et al.: Deforestation-free land-use change and organic matter-centered management improve the C footprint of oil palm expansion

The EC flux measurements course is part of the AK Micrometeorology working group’s project activities in South Africa. The aim is to facilitate better use of existing EC data in Southern Africa and support the initiation of new projects.

Dr. Roland Fuß explains the new method for calculation of nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture. This method will be used for upcoming national emission inventories. The emissions are lower than assumed previously.
