This presentation was presented during the 2 Parallel session on Theme 3.1, Managing SOC in: Soils with high SOC – peatlands, permafrost, and black soils, of the Global Symposium on Soil Organic Carbon that took place in Rome 21-23 March 2017. The presentation was made by Mr. He Hongxing, from University of Gothenburg - Sweden, in FAO Hq, Rome

4. Skogaryd
• Spruce forest on drained soil earlier used for agriculture
• >1 m deep fertile peat
• A lot of measurement data
5. Calibration data: 2007-2009:
• Net solar radiation
• Soil emission N2O and CO2
• Soil temperature
• Soil water
• Groundwater level
• NEE
• Soil energy flow
CoupModel
• One dimentional soil layered model
• Simulate water and energy flow; and C and N cycling

9. Message
• Re-wetting drained forests on
fertile peatlands can potentially
reduce GHG emissions by 44%.

Editor's Notes
Skog CO2 von Arnol EF använd I svensk rapportering
N2O IPCC Ef tier 1, ej använd I svensk rapportering, ignorerad pga av för lite kunskap sägs det.
