Peatlands are fascinating ecosystems. They store more carbon than any other ecosystem and make a decisive contribution to climate protection. If they are drained, they release large quantities of greenhouse gases. In Germany, over two thirds of all peatlands are used for agriculture. How can they be managed in a climate-friendly way? Pia Röder from the Peatland Science Center at Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences explains what makes peatlands so special and reports on current projects for sustainable peatland management.
