Ik wil middels een experiment weten of in bepaalde plant- en veenbodems methaan-oxiderende bacteriën aanwezig zijn: die kunnen het broeikasgas #methaan ‘opeten’. Zie alt-tekst

Dit plan reduceert de CO₂-uitstoot, remt de bodemdaling, voorkomt rotte funderingen en brengt en passant ook nog de wulp terug. Maar niemand heeft het erover: het hervernatten van veenweidegebied.

🌍💧💨 Small ditches, large impact!

Published my first PhD chapter in Ecosystems. Ditches in drained peatlands emit far more GHG than their small surface area might suggest. Accounting for them is crucial for accurate national inventories.

Disproportionately High Contribution of Ditches to Landscape Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Drained Peatlands - Ecosystems
Drained peatlands are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; however, research has predominantly focused on terrestrial areas, with much less attention given to drainage ditches. Desp...
