Climate change mitigation potential of paludiculture in Finland: greenhouse gas emissions of abandoned organic croplands and peat substitution

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Introduction Rewetting is an option to decrease greenhouse gas emissions of drained peatlands. With continued cultivation of wetland plants (paludiculture), it is possible to provide renewable raw materials. In Finland, peat has been used as a growing media and animal bedding. Since peat availability is decreasing, new materials are needed.
