Koolstofkoorts - Bart Crezee | Libris
<p>Begin 2017 doen wetenschappers een ontdekking. Onder het regenwoud van Congo blijkt een gigantisch veenmoeras schuil te gaan. In de bodem van het bos ligt evenveel koolstof opgeslagen als de wereld...

Kan een arm, maar ecologisch rijk land als Congo gecompenseerd worden voor de klimaatdiensten die het de wereld biedt? Oftewel: wie mag er nog van het hout, de olie of de koolstof uit het regenwoud profiteren?

Most of DRC's peatlands lie within these newly designated oil blocks, according to new research. Oil drilling in these areas would not only be an epic misstake for the climate, but also for the thousands of Indigenous Peoples and forest communities that live there earth-insight.org/report/drc-o...

Nonetheless: anything that alters the water flow risks drying out these ecosystems and releasing large quantities of CO2 to the atmosphere. Worryingly, last May, the DRC government announced tenders for 52 new oil blocks in the rainforest. www.rainforestfoundationuk.org/drc-governme...

The Congo Basin peatlands store as much carbon as three years of global fossil fuel emissions. The presence of very old peat suggests that at least part of this carbon, particularly in the DRC, is perhaps more resilient to climate change and future droughts than we thought. doi.org/10.1088/1748...

A 4-metre-deep peat core that our team collected along the Ikelemba River in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in early 2018, turned out to be over 40 thousand years old, making it one of the most ancient tropical peatlands ever discovered. It even survived the dry phase of the Last Glacial Maximum.
