Help fight climate change by unlocking the power of rewetted peatland: growing celery to sequester more carbon and reduce greenhouse gases.
A new study from the University of Copenhagen has revealed the potential for rewetted peatland to help fight climate change. The study found that growing celery in rewetted peatland can sequester more carbon than other forms of land use.
The study, which was recently published in the journal Nature Communications, looked at the potential of rewetted peatland to sequester carbon. Rewetted peatland is land that has been drained and then re-saturated with water, allowing plants to grow in it. The researchers found that when celery was planted in rewetted peatland, it was able to sequester more carbon than other forms of land use.
The study's lead author, Dr. Jacob Thorsen, said that rewetted peatland can be an effective way to fight climate change. He said that “rewetted peatlands have the potential to store more carbon than other land uses. By growing celery in these areas, we can sequester more carbon than other forms of land use, making it a powerful tool in the fight against climate change.”
The study also found that rewetted peatland can help to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The researchers found that when celery was grown in rewetted peatland, it was able to reduce the amount of nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere.
The study's findings have important implications for how we can fight climate change. The researchers suggest that rewetted peatlands could be used to sequester more carbon and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They also suggest that celery could be a valuable crop to grow in these areas, as it has the potential to sequester more carbon than other forms of land use.
