Three approaches to measure greenhouse gas emissions from peatlands

Abstract

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from peatlands can be accounted by three different approaches. These approaches differ in their purpose, the size of the area analyzed and the methodology used to measure emissions. Some areas are assessed by several approaches simultaneously. Due to the different measurement methods, the GHG emissions calculated for the same area may differ between approaches. As a result, emissions calculated using one approach cannot be directly integrated into another.
