Msc Pflanzenproduktion und Umwelt (Doktorandin)

Since February 2017, Oona Jacobs is a research assistant in the project „Cultivation of Sphagnum mosses as a sustainable form of peatland utilization: Farming and Harvesting of cultivated Sphagnum mosses” (MOOSWEIT).

The project MOOSWEIT is a follow up of MOOSGRÜN to provide greenhouse gas balances of Sphagnum farming. Measurements of greenhouse gas exchange are conducted on different production stripes in lower Saxony using closed chambers and chemical analysis. The Department of Landscape Ecology is in charge of the work package “Greenhouse gas balance of farming and harvest”. Together with the Institute of Botany and Landscape Ecology, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald; Torfwerk Moorkultur Ramsloh and the Institute for Biology and Environmental Sciences, Carl-von-Ossietzky University Oldenburg different researches are done. Therefore not only data relevant for climate protection can be provided but also important ecological and economic information to value Sphagnum farming as a new land-use strategy in agriculture.
