[ID: 414] Rewetting effects on the GHG balance of a high-productive peatland forest
PI: Järvi Järveoja
The purpose of this project is to evaluate the climate impact of restoring drained peatland forests in boreal Sweden. Specifically, the project will deliver a first-time estimate of the GHG balance for a high-productive peatland forest undergoing ecological restoration to increase biodiversity. A comparison with data from other nearby drained, restored and natural peatland sites (Hälsingfors, Trollberget and Degerö) will unravel differences in their climate impact. Thus, insights from this project will provide forest and nature stakeholders with invaluable science-based decision-support for developing sustainable and climate-responsible management strategies for forestry on drained boreal peatlands.

[ID: 218] Towards climate-responsible forestry: Assessing the greenhouse gas balances of drained and restored peatland forests in boreal Sweden
PI: Järvi Järveoja
The main goal of this project is to estimate and compare the GHG balances (including CO2 and CH4 exchanges) of drained and restored peatland forests in boreal Sweden. The specific project objectives are to: (1) obtain direct measurements of the full annual ecosystem-scale GHG balance of a drained nutrient-poor peatland forest, (2) determine the impact of restoration activities (i.e. rewetting) on the GHG balance of drained peatland forests, (3) identify the factors that govern the spatio-temporal dynamics of CO2 and CH4 exchanges in drained and restored peatland forests.

[ID: 217] How does rewetting affect the greenhouse gas balance of drained peatland forests in boreal Sweden?
PI: Järvi Järveoja
The overall aim of this project is to investigate how rewetting affects the GHG balance of drained peatland forests in boreal Sweden. This will be achieved by eddy covariance measurements of the ecosystem-scale CO2 and CH4 exchanges in work package 1 (WP1), combined with estimates of spatial variability from plot-scale GHG flux measurements across replicated sites in WP2. In WP3, the separate responses of the individual net CO2 exchange component fluxes will be determined.
