VMD0046 Methods for monitoring of soil carbon stock changes and greenhouse gas emissions and removals in peatland rewetting and conservation project activities (M-PEAT), v1.1

This module provides approaches for monitoring of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from undisturbed, degraded and rewetted domed peatland. The module addresses GHG emissions from the soil organic (peat) carbon pool due to drainage, rewetting and fire.

This module was assessed and approved as part of VM0007.

The module was revised on 8 September 2020 by Restore America’s Estuaries (external) and Silvestrum Climate Associates (external) to expand its applicability to activities on tidal wetlands.
