📰NEW PUBLICATION
How long does it take for rewetted peatlands to reduce greenhouse gas emissions? Is it an immediate... and constant process?

A recent study by @GFZ_Potsdam, led by @AramKalhori looks at long-term #research to reveal the nuances of this process.

#PeatPaper

Kalhori and her research team studied the 17 years of data from a rewetted peatland in Germany. Their results showed ...fluctuations in emissions over this time but an overall decrease in carbon dioxide and methane emissions.
