| Zusammenfassung |
| Yamulki and co-authors address in their recent publication the important
issue of net emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from peatlands where land
use conversion has taken place. In their case, they studied conversion to
forestry versus peatland restoration after a first rotation of plantation
forestry. They monitored soil-derived fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2),
methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) using opaque chamber
measurements on planted and unplanted control treatments (with or without
drainage), and an unplanted plot within a restored (felled) block on former
lowland raised bog. They propose that their measurements of greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions at these sites suggest that the total net GHG emissions, in
100 yr carbon dioxide equivalents, of the restored peat bog would be higher
than that of the peat bog with trees. We believe there are a number of issues
with the measurement, calculation and comparison of these greenhouse budgets
that may invalidate this conclusion. |
