Proud moment here, I started to work on this data during my PhD in 2016 and now almost 10 years later, this paper is published.
✨ New open-access publication! ✨

This study sets a benchmark for defining reference ecosystems in Sphagnum-dominated #peatlands of Eastern Canada, analyzing 168 peatlands to describe #bryophyte habitats.

Red peat mosses never get old... 😍

Had a fantastic day in the field with colleagues from practice and science, sharing experiences on #bog #restoration.

Fresh air, feet amongst living #Sphagnum, a flock (!) of eagles overhead: It doesn't get any better than this!

@ndr.de hat uns letzte Woche im Königsmoor besucht und wir durften ein wenig über #Torfmoose und #NatürlichenKlimaschutz im Modellvorhaben #OptiMuM sprechen. Vielen Dank!

#Moore sind schnell zerstört, aber leider nur langsam wieder zum Leben erweckt. In #OptiMuM untersuchen wir, wie es schneller gehen kann, und der @ndr.de war dabei. 👇

Darin auch @vytash.bsky.social's Tipp gegen schlechte Laune bei Regenwetter: ▶️ Moorschützer:in werden!

Versuch: Können Moore schneller wiederbelebt werden? Forschenden pflanzen Torfmoose im Königsmoor an
Die Moose wachsen normalerweise sehr langsam. Forschende wollen die Renaturierung durch den Versuch beschleunigen.

🚨New Paper 🚨
The PeatPic Project: Predicting plot-scale green leaf #phenology across #peatlands

So happy to see this paper online — one of my favourite projects!

We explored how to capture how peatlands change colour using smartphones and community science!

So far, 2025 has been great running-wise after two years of struggle. On #globalrunningday I'm sharing some impressions: 1. PR at Hamburg Marathon, 2. 4th Place at Schweriner Seentrail, 3. Cross Country Running at FIKO Baltic Sea Training Camp, 4. 10k PR at Wittenburg. Can't Do it without running.

What a huge scale! Last week we walked >16 km across a drained peat grassland to select study plots at our #wetscapes2.0 landscape-level experiment on peatland #rewetting. Soon sneakers won't be a suitable any more, and frogs don't have to rely on drainage ditches to thrive!

Ich habe heute die Holocaust-Gedenkfeier berührt verfolgt. Das erste Mal erzählte ein Holocaust-Überlebender aus der Ukraine im Bundestag seine Geschichte. Was für ein Moment, dachte ich.

Dann: Mit Stimmen der AfD wird ein Antrag der Union im BT beschlossen. Was für ein Moment.

The second edition of the Peatlands and Climate Change book is finally here!
A fantastic group of authors brings content on peat accumulation, peatland GHG exchange, responses to disturbance and links to international conventions.
