The BZE characterises the condition of forest soils, identifies changes in forest condition since the first inventory and answers any new research questions, e.g., about carbon inventory.
How much carbon do organic soils store? How much does the forest stand store compared to that? What thickness do the peat layers of drained peatlands still have? How do the emissions of organic soils develop? Peatland soil monitoring clarifies these ...
Together with the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) ghg emissions are measured on two rewetted forested peatlands using automatic chamber systems.
Forested peatlands: contribution to biodiversity and climate protection
About 15 percent of Germany's peatlands are forested. What specific contribution do these ecosystems make in terms of biodiversity and climate protection? How can they be used and preserved sustainably?
