SASCHA - Sustainable land management and adaptation strategies to climate change for the Western Siberian corn-belt SP400: Quantification of Greenhouse Gas Fluxes (SASCHA - SP400 Treibhausgasflüsse)
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Participation in BMBF-joint project
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/08/2011 - 31/07/2016
Description
The goal of this subproject is to quantify and analyze the fluxes of the GHGs water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane between surfaces of different land-use types and the atmosphere. The processes driving these fluxes will be studied, and the Global Warming Potential of the surfaces under observation will be assessed. Moreover, this subproject aims at identifying feedback-mechanisms between the GHG fluxes and factors like climate and land-use change. Synthesizing the obtained results, guidelines will be derived to minimize GHG emissions, and optimize GHG sequestration during the development of land-management strategies.
