Objectives:
Filling knowledge gaps about GHG emissions from nutrient-rich drained organic soils by elaboration and verification of GHG emission factors and activity data in cropland, grassland and forest land, and evaluation of the impact of scientifically approved climate change mitigation measures in the management of nutrient-rich organic soils;
Deliverables:
- C.1.1. Report on carbon inputs with litter and fine roots in forests on organic soils
- C.1.2. (First stage report) Catalog of climate change mitigation actions
- C.1.2. (Final report) Catalogue of climate change mitigation actions
- C.1.3. Interim draft report on improved methodologies for GHG inventory reporting and related national reports
- C.1.4. Interim draft report on improved GHG emission factors for nutrient-rich managed organic soils in Baltic States
- C.1.5. Report on improved GHG emission factors for nutrient-rich managed organic soils in Baltic States
- C.1.6. Improved methodologies for GHG inventory reporting and related national reports
About GHG emission measurements
In the documentary below GHG emission measurements are demonstrated. These measurement methods were used by LIFE REstore project “Sustainable and responsible management and re-use of degraded peatlands in Latvia” (LIFE REstore, LIFE14 CCM/LV/001103, 2015-2019) measuring GHG emissions from nutrient-poor organic soils. These methods will be improved and employed within LIFE OrgBalt project for measuring GHG emissions from nutrient-rich organic soils thus ensuring knowledge transfer to LIFE OrgBalt and continuity of scientific research.
