Peatlands at Risk: dynamiek van het milieusysteem onder veranderende omstandigheden. KU Leuven
Peatlands represent a globally important carbon pool. This enormous carbon pool is currently at risk due to several reasons. Most obviously, there are high peat carbon losses in regions of direct anthropogenic influence due to drainage for land use and forestry, and peat extraction for horticulture and energy use. More subtle disturbances of peatlands, but over much larger areas, occur due to groundwater extraction, increasing atmospheric ...
