Peatland Protection Equals Efficient Climate Protection
Zurich-Reckenholz, 7.6.2018 - Is there a cost-efficient way to curb climate stress caused by land use? Globally, peatlands store twenty per cent of all the carbon lying untapped in the soil – despite the fact that they account for less than three per cent of the Earth’s land mass. New findings from Agroscope show that peatland protection is a highly efficient climate-protection measure. These findings were published in the prestigious journal, Nature Communications.
