ObjectivesObjectives
To gain quantitative insight in how- and to what extent GHG (CO2, CH4, N2O) are produced at small- and landscape scale in Dutch fen meadows;
Study the effect of management (ground water level manipulation, fertilization, husbandry) on GHG production and emission;
Develop a system for upscaling of GHG emission from plot scale to landscape scale in fen meadow ecosystems, together with other researchers.

Research question 2Research question 2
What are the effects of groundwater level, land use change, aerenchymatic
plants, amount of clay, fertilization and husbandry on GHG emission
((management)factors)

Research question 3Research question 3
What is the temporal and spatial variability of GHG emission in
Dutch fen meadows and to what is this related;
(variability)

Research question 4Research question 4
What are the opportunities for the usage of fen meadows for GHG emission reduction and what are
the implications for nature management in fen meadows;
(relevance, future management => emission reduction)

Research question 5Research question 5
How can scaling up/modeling of emission from fen meadow systems
be improved using knowledge of spatial- and temporal variability
(modeling and upscaling)

Different land elements such as ditch(edge), low- and high parts (often related to vegetation: with and without aerenchym)

FluxesFluxes Flux chamber measurements every two or three weeks (in
winter less intensive) at fixed locations (Photo Acoustic Field Gas monitor: INNOVA) of N2O, CH4 and CO2;
Flux chamber measurements: intensive field campaigns in spring, sample design will be based on land form elements;
Flux measurements at special events as mowing, cleaning of ditches, heavy rain, frost/thaw, manure application;
Flux measurements under constant conditions in the greenhouse of N2O, CH4 and CO2.
Continuous measurements of CO2 fluxes, water vapour and energy (Eddy correlation, open path Licor 7500) at both sites (e.g. Aubinet et al., 2000) following the Carbo Europe protocol;

January: chamber measurements every 3 or 4 weeks at both sites at 5 fixed locations, design intensive field campaigns, finish research proposal;
February: design greenhouse experiment, continue chamber measurements, start intensive field campaigns (first manure application);
March: continue intensive field campaigns, start greenhouse experiment, continue chamber measurements;
April, may, june: continue July: stop intensive field campaigns, stop greenhouse
experiment, continue chamber measurements.
