1. Spatial Variation And Correlation Between Electric Conductivity (EM38), Penetration Resistance And CO2 Emissions From A Cultivated Peat Soil

Peatlands in their natural state accumulate organic matter and bind large quantities of carbon (5 - 50 g C/m2/year). The drainage and cultivation of peat soils increase the aeration of the soil, which increase the brake down of the organic matter. The degradation of the organic material release greenhouse gases such as CO2, N2O and CH4. CO2 emissions dominate when the soil has high oxygen levels, while CH4 mainly is... &.E. Berglund
