Join us as Louis Schipper and Owen Fenton discuss the challenges of managing soil carbon on agricultural peatlands. A surprisingly high share of New Zealand's carbon dioxide emissions comes from a tiny proportion of soil - peat bogs that have been drained to support productive agriculture. Estimates indicate that drained peatlands in New Zealand (<1% […]
