Section overview
Description
Our department studies peatlands in an integrative way at the crossroads between:
palaeo-ecology (palynology, macro remain analysis, geochemistry)
ecology (bio indicators, peat formation and accumulation)
landscape ecology (eco-hydrology, mire and landscape development, human impact, climate change)
nature conservation (classification, biodiversity, restoration)
wise use (peatland functions, Sphagnum cultivation).
