TL;DR: Analysis of mainly unpublished GHG emissions from grasslands on bog and fen peat as well as other soils rich in soil organic carbon in Germany can help both to improve GHG emission reporting and to prioritize and plan emission reduction measures for peat and similar soils at different scales.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define and quantify the leading drivers of change that have impacted peatland carbon stocks during the Holocene and predict their effect during this century and in the far future.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the basic principles of water infiltration in soils and analyzed approaches commonly used in land surface models to quantify infiltration as well as its numerical implementation and sensitivity to model parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the applicability of unimodal and bimodal van Genuchten–Mualem based models to peat and other organic soils under evaporation conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, the hydraulic properties of five types of peat and other organic soils from different German peatlands have been investigated by laboratory evaporation experiments and the performance of eight model set-ups differing in the degree of complexity and the choice of fitting parameters were evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using boosted regression trees to explore key factors controlling saturated and near-saturated hydraulic conductivity
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of boosted regression trees to identify the key factors that determine saturated and near-saturated hydraulic conductivities in undisturbed soils with a global meta-database of tension infiltrometer measurements was investigated.
