A new methodology for organic soils in national greenhouse gas inventories: Data synthesis, derivation and application

sponsorship: The projects "Climate protection by peatland protection" and "Organic soils in the emission reporting" were funded by the German Ministry of Education (BMBF, Grant No. 01LS05046, 01LS05048, 01LS05051, and 01LS05049) and the ThUnen-Institute, respectively. Parts of the measurements in Graben-Neudorf were funded by the Federal State Baden-Wurttemberg (EmMo, Grant No. BWM11005). Measurements at the Hammelwarder Moor were funded by the European Regional Development Fund, the Lower Saxony Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection and the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Environment, Energy and Climate Protection. We would like to thank all the technical staff, students and anyone else who helped in the field and in the laboratory as well as farmers and Nature Protection Agencies who granted access to the measurement sites. Furthermore, we thank Carla Bockermann (HSWT) for language editing.
