Satellite-based method measures carbon in peat bogs
Estimating whole-bog morphology and irrecoverable carbon stocks from a single elevation transect. a, Reksuo, a raised bog in Finland. Satellite image: Google, Landsat/Copernicus. b, Lidar-derived elevations from the bog boundary and a transect provide a sample of the bog function describing the relationship between the solution to Poisson’s equation ϕ(x, y) and surface elevations p. By transforming the solution to Poisson’s equation (c) using this…
