1 Analysis of the potential of restoration and improved conservation of peatlands in Northern Eurasia Authors: Annett Thiele, Frank Edom & Tom Kirschey Annett Thiele, Landscape ecology and consulting on climate influence of peatlands and mires, Berlin, Germany Ландшафтный эколог, консультант по влиянию болотных экосистем на климат
2 Analysis of the potential of restoration and improved conservation of peatlands in Northern Eurasia Triangle of a Peatland hydrologist Frank Edom Biodiversity specialist Tom Kirschey GHG emissions from peatlands It s me!
3 growing, wet peatlands CH 4 CO 2 neutral for the climate M. Minke
4 Intro Currently 550 Gt of Carbon are stored in all the peatlands in the worlg, which is - Two times more than in all forests of the world - 75% of the total amount of carbon in the atmosphere
5 drained, degraded peatland CO 2 N2O years more than 50% of belarusian peatlands have been drained and degraded Germany has drained 97% of all peatlands- the picture is similar all over western Europe
6 Emission hotspots
7 0.6 % of the landmass, that are drianed peatlands, are responsible for ~5% of all antropogenic CO2 emissions

11 Analysis of the potential of restoration and improved conservation of peatlands in Northern Eurasia Content Countries:» Lithuania» Poland» Belarus» European part of Russia (spec. Nizhegorodskoi Oblast) General terms and principles Hydrological basics and time scales of internal processes Importance of mires and peatlands for biodiversity, climate, monetary and non-monetary values, nature conservation Climate influence of peatlands Chance for rewetting?
12 Analysis of the potential of restoration and improved conservation of peatlands in Northern Eurasia Problems of mires and peatlands in the target regions peat fires, peat extraction, agriculture, Country wise brief description of possible project sites Landscape history and utilization history State of the art in biodiversity and potentials under rewetting Climate potentials under rewetting (preliminary calculations) If possible, preliminary budget planning In-country partners
13 Analysis of the potential of restoration and improved conservation of peatlands in Northern Eurasia General principles of rewetting planning Following the VCS methodology Baseline monitoring meth. for the rewetting of drained peatlands used for peat extraction, forestry or agriculture based on GESTs Substantial hydrological data analysis (hydrogeology, morphology, water flow, prediction of habitat changes) and consideration under rewetting planning Planning of monitoring scheme
14 General principles of rewetting planning GHG assessment Baseline monitoring meth. for the rewetting of drained peatlands used for peat extraction, forestry or agriculture based on GESTs Methods to assess emission reductions from peatland rewetting Or see: Couwenberg, J., Thiele, A., Tanneberger, F., Augustin, J., Bärisch, S., Dubovik, D., Liashchynskaya, N., Michaelis, D., Minke, M., Skuratovich, A., Joosten, H., (2011): Assessing greenhouse gas emissions from peatlands using vegetation as a proxy.
