By newly developed Relaxed Eddy Accumulation (REA) systems we will study complete, continuous GHG budgets (H2O, CO2, CH4, N2O, NH3) from 3 pairs of organic agricultural fields with contrasting peat layer depth and cultivation. This will shed new light on the climate impact of cultivated organic soils and the importance of site-specific conditions and management. High time resolution enables process studies to reveal key parameters and mechanisms that control GHG fluxes in the soil-plant-atmosphere system, which will significantly improve simulation models. This will notably improve GHG reporting, climate modeling, and the base for mitigation strategies.
