Summary
This project explores how climate change and restoration affect microbial production of greenhouse gases in peatlands. Using cutting-edge technology, it measures carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide simultaneously, to understand microbial processes driving emissions. The goal is to support climate-smart peatland management and help reduce emissions through evidence-based strategies.
