Proud moment here, I started to work on this data during my PhD in 2016 and now almost 10 years later, this paper is published.

Happy you traded office for field trip to discuss raised bog #restoration as #naturebasedsolutions for the #climate and #biodiversity! #natürlicherklimaschutz #ank #OptiMuM @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social @unigreifswald.bsky.social @bfn-de.bsky.social @umweltministerium.de @terhorab.bsky.social

@ndr.de hat uns letzte Woche im Königsmoor besucht und wir durften ein wenig über #Torfmoose und #NatürlichenKlimaschutz im Modellvorhaben #OptiMuM sprechen. Vielen Dank! @bfn-de.bsky.social @umweltministerium.de @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social @unigreifswald.bsky.social @danpetermann.bsky.social

Open Letter by scientists to the Council: "Climate Neutrality Is Europe’s Greatest Economic Opportunity”. Ahead of the European Council meeting on 23.10.2025, 2,178 scientists urge EU Heads of States & Governments to take ambitious decisions for the 2040 targets. zenodo.org/records/1739...

🚨New Paper 🚨 The PeatPic Project: Predicting plot-scale green leaf #phenology across #peatlands So happy to see this paper online — one of my favourite projects! We explored how to capture how peatlands change colour using smartphones and community science! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

@zalf.bsky.social (#ZALF ECO) How can sensor platforms like #Agroflux, when combined with #livinglabs accelerate sustainable agriculture? Our opinion piece in @Nature Comms discusses this synergy. Grateful to @marenecohydro.bsky.social, Cheng Chen, Frank Ewert & more! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Fresh #OptiMuM project impressions of how the #Sphagnum 'handfuls' have developed after one growing season in Königsmoor, Schleswig-Holstein. Carbon sequestration coming up. #natürlicherklimaschutz @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social @umweltministerium.de @terhorab.bsky.social @aerenchyma.bsky.social

New paper out! Using over 20 years of #satellite data, we show that restored #peatlands start to resemble intact peatlands. Their #albedo and land surface #temperature (LST) gradually align with those of natural peatlands. 👉 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

So far, 2025 has been great running-wise after two years of struggle. On #globalrunningday I'm sharing some impressions: 1. PR at Hamburg Marathon, 2. 4th Place at Schweriner Seentrail, 3. Cross Country Running at FIKO Baltic Sea Training Camp, 4. 10k PR at Wittenburg. Can't Do it without running.

What a huge scale! Last week we walked >16 km across a drained peat grassland to select study plots at our #wetscapes2.0 landscape-level experiment on peatland #rewetting. Soon sneakers won't be a suitable any more, and frogs don't have to rely on drainage ditches to thrive!

Gut 7% der 🇩🇪 Agrarfläche dient dem Anbau von Pflanzen für Biokraftstoffe. Mit PV-Anlagen könnte dieselbe Energiemenge auf einem Dreißigstel der Fläche erzeugt werden! www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.... Schon 2008 haben wir in einem WBGU-Gutachten wegen des Flächenverbrauchs vor Biokraftstoffen gewarnt.

Peatlands and running an ultra, what a great idea! Love it!

Russland schießt an einem Freitagnachmittag eine ballistische Rakete in ein Wohngebiet der Großstadt Krywyj Rih und das ist alles, was man von Russlands Friedensabsichten wissen muss.

Größere Schlagzeilen in 🇬🇧 Medien als in 🇩🇪. »#Russia could be behind migrant #terror attacks« »German intelligence officials are exploring the theory that #Russia sought to recruit mentally ill and/or extremist asylum seekers« www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding. inews.co.uk/news/world/m...

Randomized water sampling and a little winter at Königsmoor, Schleswig-Holstein. Nikolas made a great effort for his @unigreifswald.bsky.social research project about environmental factors and Sphagnum moss occurrences post restoration. @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social @bmuv.de #optimum #raised #bog

Ich habe heute die Holocaust-Gedenkfeier berührt verfolgt. Das erste Mal erzählte ein Holocaust-Überlebender aus der Ukraine im Bundestag seine Geschichte. Was für ein Moment, dachte ich. Dann: Mit Stimmen der AfD wird ein Antrag der Union im BT beschlossen. Was für ein Moment.

Yesterday, we finished the #sphagnum moss transfer for the season near EwigesMeer NW Germany. Luckily weather has been awesome. Project #OptiMuM, funded by @bmuv.de. #peatland #raisedbog #restoration @aerenchyma.bsky.social @fjansen.bsky.social @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social @terhorab.bsky.social

Zusammen mit der Stiftung Naturschutz Schleswig-Holstein haben wir diese Woche erstmals Torfmoose im Königsmoor im Rahmen unseres Projekts #OptiMuM übertragen. @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social @bmuv.de @aerenchyma.bsky.social @terhorab.bsky.social

Bornholm cross via Højlyngsstien. 5 ppl, 67k, 1000m vertical gain, and all the Baltic fog there is. Carried all the essentials for 3 days. Much recommended if you need an instant brain shutdown. #running

Just peat mosses from our last trip. #dosenmoor #optimoor #königsmoor #raisedbog #restoration @aerenchyma.bsky.social @terhorab.bsky.social @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social #sphagnummonday

Me lost in Connemara bogs back in 2010. Been getting wet feet while trying to find a dry place for the tent. Happy World Wetlands Day. #memories

Lovely winter day out in #TotesMoor discussing reintroduction of raised bog vegetation and the importance of introduction techniques and landscape features with colleagues from Uni #Hannover for #raisedbog #restoration @aerenchyma.bsky.social @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social PS: wolves allowed or not?

Kurzbericht des NDR-Nordmagazins zur Wiedervernässung des Naturschutzgebiets "Grambower Moor" bei Schwerin. 👇

The second edition of the Peatlands and Climate Change book is finally here! A fantastic group of authors brings content on peat accumulation, peatland GHG exchange, responses to disturbance and links to international conventions. holvi.com/shop/peatlan...

Plus the heterogeneity of field sites in restoration ecology is quite overwhelming. Setting up a good study design will be a tough challenge. Looking forward:)

Unsere Partnerinnen der Naturschutzstiftung Cuxhaven suchen für die Mitarbeit in den Projekten #OptiMuM und #RoNNi ebenfalls motivierte Menschen für die Umsetzung von #Hochmoor #Renaturierung und #Niedermoor #Paludikultur tinyurl.com/yt8p39rb @terhorab.bsky.social @thuenenpeat.bsky.social

Day 2 with a trip to Ewiges Meer scouting sites of large scale bog restoration. The donor site for moss transfer was restored in 2009 and it seems first hummock species may have established entirely on its own. Exciting to set up monitoring soon! @aerenchyma.bsky.social @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social

1st field day visiting a bog remnant and the adjacent #OptiMuM project site that will become a restored raised bog after grassland use (we hope). Luckily the rain paused for 3h with @aerenchyma.bsky.social, Florian Jansen and fellows of Naturschutzstiftung Cuxhaven out in the field.

From bog-in-a-box to snow-on-a-box. @aerenchyma.bsky.social

Fitting blue sky and frosty winter vibes to kick off @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social retreat with a short excursion to the sedge meadows at Lake Kummerow. Brrrr @terhorab.bsky.social

Excited about peatland restoration and Sphagnum mosses? Come join Florian Jansen and @aerenchyma.bsky.social at Uni Rostock and work with me and others in the OptiMuM project on how to increase restoration success in Germany. @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social @terhorab.bsky.social tinyurl.com/yhhmj2z9

Pretty peat moss nursery at @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social with 12 Sphagnum species collected all over Europe. Really happy to have so much expertise around for our raised bog restoration project. @aerenchyma.bsky.social @terhorab.bsky.social

#PeatSky #PhDposition still open until 15 Nov! Are you interested in emissions and processes of GHG fluxes of rewetted agricultural land on peat? Join us at the University of Rostock, @aerenchyma.bsky.social PS: Job description in german, contact us if you have questions or trouble translating

Happy that @BfN_de is funding my follow-up project on raised bog restoration as a nature-based solution for climate and biodiversity. Thanks @terhorab.bsky.social & Florian Jansen for finalizing the coop between Universities of Greifswald and Rostock. @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social #PeatTwitter 1/2

I'm not an expert on forests but I'm happy to have contributed a photo :) #GenerationRestoration #naturerestorationlaw #eupolicy egu.eu/3ZM54G/

Hey bluesky & peatland ppl, my decade-long colleague @aerenchyma.bsky.social has finally found her way to social media. She's the author of www.nature.com/articles/s41... and a terrific R coder. Clear recommendation to follow. @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social @akrotelm.bsky.social @terhorab.bsky.social

Moss samples from 2017 forming a great substrate for propagating living Sphagnum specimen. Kind of a mini paludiculture. More bogs-in-boxes to come.

One outcome of the inspiring #Power2Peatlands conference in Antwerp is this conference declaration. Peatlands must be wet to be able to provide their many valuable ecosystem services @juttapaulus.bsky.social www.ecologic.eu/19420

Sphagnum magellanicum specimen have survived and start revealing themselves now in my little bog-in-a-box in front of my office by turning red. Can't wait to give them their private space soon 😊 #PeatSky #PeatColours #PeatlandRestoration #arehastagsathing @terhorab.bsky.social @scootjd.bsky.social

Tough time measuring #ghg emissions when you have such a curious audience #grasslands #grazing #uckermärker #rügen #latesummer #balticsea

Late summer colours from our raised bog #restoration trial collecting plants & soil with my colleague Anke Günther. Can't wait to attend #powertothepeatlands conference next week in Antwerpen. Programme looks awesome:) #sphagnummonday @BfN_de @greifswaldmoor @terhorab @CarePeat
