This vicious circle of peat use was managed in the past with regularly draining activities for sustaining intensive land use. This approach will not work so easily in the future, because the hydrological and physical limits of drainage are often reached. This contribution presents in the first part more accurate approaches for predicting subsidence rates of peat soils than the widely used rule of thumb values. Recent concepts for peat conserving land use, which minimize subsidence, are discussed. Implementing these concepts requires in large peatland areas a moderated process supported by politics and environmental administration.}, note = { \url {http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/7207}}, }
