Oppenweher Moor Climate Station
Highlight • Structure
Natural peatlands hold a lot of water and can store large amounts of carbon. Their drying out – either due to human activity or climate change – causes the stored carbon to be released into the atmosphere.
Water loss also reduces the habitat for animal species that depend on these ecosystems. Peatlands are still being destroyed in all parts of the world. Here in Germany, well over 90 percent of peatlands are affected.
Healthy peatlands are being lost ten times faster than they are growing worldwide.
"The measuring tower is intended to determine how much water evaporates and how much CO2 the ecosystem absorbs each year." Sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere is important to prevent further global warming. The researchers have set up a high-precision system that continuously measures over 50 variables, such as CO2 and water flux, air temperature, radiation, precipitation, soil moisture, and much more, every minute (and sometimes tens of times per second) over several years.
The Lower Nature Conservation Authority of the Minden-Lübbecke district is using the project results to better protect the Oppenweher Moor in future drought and heat conditions. Improvements in the water balance can thus strengthen the moor's function as a home to endangered species and as a nature experience area for the region's people. The popular observation of crane migration in the autumn moor is just one example of many.
