It analyses differences in objectives, spatial and temporal references, and methodological accuracy. The study addresses public experts and decision-makers, supporting them in critically assessing the quality and limitations of each approach and selecting suitable methods for climate protection strategies.1 Online-Ressource (8 Seiten, 1,01 MB) : Illustrationenghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/363.7Approaches to measure greenhouse gas emissions from peatlands / publisher: German Environment Agency (UBA) ; authors, institutions: Niklas Domke (Humboldt Universität zu Berlin), Hans Joosten (DUENE e.V., associate with Greifswald Moor Centrum), Harald Grethe (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), Georg Lukas (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)
