Despite scarce empirical evidence, paludiculture is expected to have significant GHG mitigation potential for organic soils. This study provides the first comprehensive dataset on full GHG balances for newly established fen paludicultures over a water table (WT) gradient spanning annual mean WT of \u22120.29 m to +0.04 m, stratified into moderately rewetted conditions (\u22120.30 m < WT < \u22120.10 m) and rewetted conditions (WT \u2265 \u22120.10 m). We used manual and novel automated chambers to measure annual carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide emissions from five typical fen plant species (Carex acutiformis, Phalaris arundinacea, Phragmites australis, Typha angustifolia and T. latifolia) newly established as peatland biomass crops in three temperate fen peatlands in southern Germany. Our study confirms a significant GHG mitigation potential for the tested plant species and found a C sink function of paludiculture. The results yield preliminary emission factors of \u22120.1 and \u221212.0 t CO2-equivalents ha\u22121 yr\u22121 under moderately rewetted conditions (n=39) and under rewetted conditions (n=43), respectively. We further identify an optimal annual mean WT of \u22120.07 m for maximizing GHG reduction across all plant species and sites with a net C sink achieved at a mean annual WT of \u2265 \u22120.12 m. Presuming the conversion of arable land into paludiculture, a mitigation potential of up to \u221251.9 t CO2-equivalent is attainable per hectare and year. These findings highlight that well-managed paludiculture could make a considerable contribution toward achieving the politically targeted CO2 sink function in the LULUCF sector.", "keywords": ["peatland", " organic soil", " water table", " Carex", " Phalaris", " Phragmites", " Typha", " LULUCF", " preliminary emission factor", " carbon balance"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Bockermann, Carla, Eickenscheidt, Tim, Dr\u00f6sler, Matthias,", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16026838"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.5281/zenodo.16026838", "name": "item", "description": "10.5281/zenodo.16026838", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.5281/zenodo.16026838"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2025-07-17T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.5281/zenodo.7092932", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-05-23T16:23:15Z", "type": "Dataset", "title": "Datasets-A globally robust relationship between water table decline, subsidence rate and carbon release from peatlands", "description": "Open AccessSupplementary Data A shows meta-data for in-situ and laboratory measurements of soil respiration or its components soil heterotrophic respiration and autotrophic respiration, as well as associated environmental variables from global pristine peatlands and water table decline peatlands, respectively.
