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!

#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.

Do you also think that there is still too little research on methane exchange of alder trees? Here is one new little puzzle piece from our lab:

Hey #peatland ppl! Do you also get stupidly excited when you find music with peat references, or is it just me? 🎶
I just stumbled across this song and it made me so happy 😀. What's your favourite peatland-related song?

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!

Kicking off WETSCAPES 2.0! This week marked the start of the first @dfg.de collaborative research center dedicated to researching rewetted fens. Over 50 scientists discussed the 100 screening sites, 5 core sites, and 2 landscape-level experiments. And we installed the first of our 1,000 sensors!

So it has begun!
What looks like an inconspicuous box of boxes actually is the start of our planned sensor network for environmental conditions in rewetted fens.

Winter is for finishing, recalibrating and community. Today we combined it all and cleaned up our longest running field site, which looks like a lake but is actually a #peatland, in a joined effort by Universities of Rostock and Greifswald. Wishing you all a joyful end of the year!

Absolutely can't wait to work (again) in such a strong consortium! At the Rostock Landscape Ecology group we will focus on studying vegetation patterns within and surrounding #rewetted #peatlands, exchange processes, and on providing research data infrastructure and environmental data. Let's go!

The positive feedback between climate change and peatland methane emissions (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...) forces us to reduce anthropogenic methane emissions from fossil fuels and agriculture ASAP.
Rapid shift in methane carbon isotopes suggests microbial emissions drove record high atmospheric methane growth in 2020–2022 | PNAS
The growth rate of the atmospheric abundance of methane (CH4) reached a record high of 15.4 ppb yr−1 between 2020 and 2022, but the mechanisms driv...
