Abstract: In Germany, peatlands drained for agriculture cause more than 40 Mio. t CO2 equiv. per year, which accounts for 44 % of all agricultural emissions. Because of their high mitigation potential, they are becoming increasingly important for EU agricultural policy and Germany's national mitigation efforts.
