One thing I learned on day 1 of #power2peatlands conference was that investigating peat by measuring sieved soil samples is like studying cows by looking at minced meat. 😀 Structure matters! Looking forward to more mindblowing insights tomorrow!

If you want to see first data from our #peatland water level monitoring network in #WETSCAPES2, you are warmly invited to my talk tomorrow at 9:30 in room 3.29/30! 💧

One key takeaway from #EGU26 so far: peatland science is growing fast 🌱 With more peatland-focused sessions, high-quality contributions, and inspiring exchanges across the geosciences, EGU has become a key meeting point for the peatland community in Europe and beyond.

If you see one of these lovely faces at #EGU26, go and speak to them about rewetted #peatlands! Our #WETSCAPES2.0 delegation ist happy to meet you! @tannebergerf.bsky.social @tetzlaffecohyd.bsky.social 🌞

Starting off my #EGU26 with a great talk of my #WETSCAPES2.0 colleague Jürgen Kreyling about peat formation potential of #paludiculture. Looking forward to a whole week of deep-nerding about #peatlands!

We've been busy over the past weeks setting up #WETSCAPES2.0 research sites in already wet or to be rewetted #peatlands. Big thanks to our newest team members, the two "greenhorns" BetramM and RamMona 😉, who really pulled their weight helping us to build fence posts! @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social

Red peat mosses never get old... 😍 Had a fantastic day in the field with colleagues from practice and science, sharing experiences on #bog #restoration. Fresh air, feet amongst living #Sphagnum, a flock (!) of eagles overhead: It doesn't get any better than this! #ILoveMyJob #OptiMuM

#Moore sind schnell zerstört, aber leider nur langsam wieder zum Leben erweckt. In #OptiMuM untersuchen wir, wie es schneller gehen kann, und der @ndr.de war dabei. 👇 Darin auch @vytash.bsky.social's Tipp gegen schlechte Laune bei Regenwetter: ▶️ Moorschützer:in werden! www.ndr.de/nachrichten/...

Versuch: Können Moore schneller wiederbelebt werden? Forschenden pflanzen Torfmoose im Königsmoor an

Die Moose wachsen normalerweise sehr langsam. Forschende wollen die Renaturierung durch den Versuch beschleunigen.

💧🌱#RRR2025 finished today - Thanks to all the participants and speakers making it ... not just a conference ... but an event to remember !🌿 #Peatlands #Paludiculture

Shedding a light on #paludiculture: Enjoying the second day of #RRR2025, hearing about potentials, data, conflicts and solutions when implementing wet use of #peatlands. @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social

Do you also think that there is still too little research on methane exchange of alder trees? Here is one new little puzzle piece from our lab: Authors: Daniel Köhn, @aerenchyma.bsky.social, Marko Smiljanic, @terhorab.bsky.social rdcu.be/exqiI

Hey #peatland ppl! Do you also get stupidly excited when you find music with peat references, or is it just me? 🎶 I just stumbled across this song and it made me so happy 😀. What's your favourite peatland-related song? www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFhM...

What a huge scale! Last week we walked >16 km across a drained peat grassland to select study plots at our #wetscapes2.0 landscape-level experiment on peatland #rewetting. Soon sneakers won't be a suitable any more, and frogs don't have to rely on drainage ditches to thrive!

Kicking off WETSCAPES 2.0! This week marked the start of the first @dfg.de collaborative research center dedicated to researching rewetted fens. Over 50 scientists discussed the 100 screening sites, 5 core sites, and 2 landscape-level experiments. And we installed the first of our 1,000 sensors!

Would you like to work with these lovely boxes? ⬇️ Then check out the three technical positions we currently have on offer and send us your application (deadline March 10)! tinyurl.com/daubpvht tinyurl.com/s63ymce5

So it has begun! What looks like an inconspicuous box of boxes actually is the start of our planned sensor network for environmental conditions in rewetted fens. #wetscapes2.0

Statt von einer weißen Weihnacht, singen wir am GMC "Dreaming of a wet peatland" 🎄 (oder vielen). Deshalb läuten wir die Glöckchen für unsere neuen Jobs - insgesamt 21. Unter dem Weihnachtsbaum Als Geschenke würden sie sich unter dem Weihnachtsbaum stapeln.

Winter is for finishing, recalibrating and community. Today we combined it all and cleaned up our longest running field site, which looks like a lake but is actually a #peatland, in a joined effort by Universities of Rostock and Greifswald. Wishing you all a joyful end of the year!

Yesterday, we finished the #sphagnum moss transfer for the season near EwigesMeer NW Germany. Luckily weather has been awesome. Project #OptiMuM, funded by @bmuv.de. #peatland #raisedbog #restoration @aerenchyma.bsky.social @fjansen.bsky.social @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social @terhorab.bsky.social

Absolutely can't wait to work (again) in such a strong consortium! At the Rostock Landscape Ecology group we will focus on studying vegetation patterns within and surrounding #rewetted #peatlands, exchange processes, and on providing research data infrastructure and environmental data. Let's go!

The positive feedback between climate change and peatland methane emissions (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...) forces us to reduce anthropogenic methane emissions from fossil fuels and agriculture ASAP.

Rapid shift in methane carbon isotopes suggests microbial emissions drove record high atmospheric methane growth in 2020–2022 | PNAS

The growth rate of the atmospheric abundance of methane (CH4) reached a record high of 15.4 ppb yr−1 between 2020 and 2022, but the mechanisms driv...

Lovely winter day out in #TotesMoor discussing reintroduction of raised bog vegetation and the importance of introduction techniques and landscape features with colleagues from Uni #Hannover for #raisedbog #restoration @aerenchyma.bsky.social @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social PS: wolves allowed or not?

New year, new field site: Had a cold but beautiful day searching for peat mosses under snow and generally scouting the location for our new bog restoration project. @vytash.bsky.social @terhorab.bsky.social @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social
