Description

The project will provide updated research evidence on the net greenhouse gas emissions from soils described as "wasted peat" in England, that is to say soils which used to match the definition of peat (an organic soil layer greater than 40cm) but that no longer match this definition because of losses through intensive use. To develop these new emissions factors, the project will mainly fund the acquisition of new field measurements (soil survey and more intensive continuous measurements on a subset of sites, with techniques such as eddy-covariance or eddy accumulation). It will also fund a systematic review of evidences to integrate those results with the other evidence available by the end of the project.
