Carbon cycling and greenhouse gas exchange in rewetted fens (B01)

• Subject Area: Ecology and Biodiversity of Plants and Ecosystems
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 531801029

In B1 we investigate the drivers of GHG exchange in rewetted fens and provide data for process-based modeling of C turnover. EC based evapotranspiration rates are fed into process-based hydrological models. We use low-cost sensors for measuring CH4 and CO2 exchange in screening campaigns on a large number of sites and investigate iron turnover as a proxy for decomposition of organic matter in a subset of Screening Sites with an in-situ incubation approach.
