Experimental analysis shows reduced greenhouse gas emissions in Sphagnum farming compared to drainage-based agriculture, suggesting sustainable land use options.
Sphagnum farming on highly decomposed peat is possible, but needs elaborate water management. • Experimentally raised temperatures may increase carbon dioxide and methane emissions. • Even under unfavourable soil and weather conditions and accounting for irrigation polders and dams, greenhouse gas emissions were much lower than in the case of drainage-based agriculture.
