The study sites were inoculated with peat mosses (in particular Sphagnum papillosum, S. palustre, S. magellanicum, S. fimbriatum, S. pulchrum) of three donor sites. The economic profitability of peat moss cultivation and the suitability of peat mosses as constituent for growing media are being tested by the substrate manufacturer Klasmann-Deilmann GmbH. The Institute of Environmental Planning at the Leibniz Universität Hannover is assessing and evaluating the growth rate of the different peat moss species and the suitability of the cultivation sites as habitats for characteristic plant and animal species of raised bogs. The greenhouse gas balance of the ”peatland based“ peat moss production is being evaluated by the Thünen Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture in Braunschweig. The GHG balance includes the quantification of the influence of peat moss harvest on the C-sequestration of the donor sites.}, note = { \url {http://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gldocs-11858/7250}}, }
