For the purposes of preparing a project, I need to understand the possible strategies for measuring methane and CO2 in peatlands. And the types of equipment that can be used. I would like to know about sensors that can be measured on site for more detailed studies, but also sensors that can be attached to dataloggers for ongoing studies. Can anyone help?
Hi,
You might check out this link: https://www.nobveenweiden.nl/en/what-we-measure/
Originally a dutch text: "veen" means peat.
Further: https://www.nobveenweiden.nl/emissies-van-methaan-uit-het-veen/
Good luck with your research!

You also could take a look at Bansal et al. (2023). Practical Guide to Measuring Wetland Carbon Pools and Fluxes. Wetlands. 43:105. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13157-023-01722-2
It has useful info about measuring CO2 and CH4 in water (e.g., porewater, surface water) as well as measuring CO2 and CH4 fluxes between wetlands and the atmosphere.
