In view of climate change and the biodiversity crisis, the preservation of moors and peat soils an important role. The restoration of once drained moor areas for agricultural and forestry use, in addition to the renaturation of disturbed moors, is a specific goal in the current draft of the EU Restoration Act.
The project is intended to address the following research questions:
Which indicators can used to identify degraded moor areas ?
Where are these areas located?
From a technical perspective, where are suitable locations for promising, sustained rewetting and how large is their area?
The research project was applied for and approved by the Biodiversity Fund (C321085, MOIST). The project consortium consists of experts from several institutions.
