A calculator for local peatland volume and carbon stock to support area planners and decision makers
Conserving soil carbon is one of many actions to take in limiting global warming. However, carbon dense peatlands are still being drained or excavated. Infrastructure development is one of the major current threats to boral peatlands in Fennoscandia, but few tools are avail-able for calculations of...

Conserving soil carbon is one of many actions to take in limiting global warming. However, carbon dense peatlands are still being drained or excavated.

Thus, we compiled a reference database of key peat characteristics from main boreal peatland types sampled in Norway and tested “best practice” peat depth sampling methods and peat volume interpolations.
