While bogs were previously often known as eerie places and were drained for the coveted peat, we are now faced with the task of renaturing these important CO2 stores. The current episode of the podcast \u201cForsch! &#8211; Science in Conversation\u201d approaches the topic of bogs from a research perspective. In the new episode, Dr. B\u00e4rbel Tiemeyer, bog researcher at the Th\u00fcnen Institute in Braunschweig, provides insights into her work.   <\/strong>\r\n\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_6962\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6962\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6962 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Credit-Eberhard-Braunschweiger-Zeitung-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Credit-Eberhard-Braunschweiger-Zeitung-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Credit-Eberhard-Braunschweiger-Zeitung-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Credit-Eberhard-Braunschweiger-Zeitung-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Credit-Eberhard-Braunschweiger-Zeitung-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.forschungregion.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Credit-Eberhard-Braunschweiger-Zeitung-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6962\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gro\u00dfes Moor near Gifhorn. Image credit: Eberhard\/ Braunschweiger Zeitung.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<h3>The Bog<\/h3>\r\nFrom a global perspective, bogs are often found near the equator and in Southeast Asia. In Germany, they formed particularly in the Alpine foothills and in the North German region. They account for one third of all bog areas worldwide. Like the rainforest, bogs are also worthy of protection due to their special ecosystem.   \r\n\r\nDr. B\u00e4rbel Tiemeyer gives an explanation of how they are formed: \u201cA bog is an ecosystem characterized by an excess of water. Only plants that can cope with a lot of water grow there. (&#8230;) And because the water level is always very high, the remains of these plants are not completely broken down, but are deposited over the millennia. This creates peat, which grows by about 1 mm per year. In the case of the most powerful bogs, we have now reached six to seven meters.\u201d The excess water is created by flooding or enough rainwater. Overall, bogs usually form open landscapes, although alders, pines and birches can be found here, but they do not grow very large. A regional example would also be the Torfhausmoor on the Goethe hiking trail from Torfhaus to the Brocken, through which you can walk on planks.   \r\n<h3>The Peat<\/h3>\r\nDried peat &#8211; a form of humus &#8211; can be used for heating. In Lower Saxony, peat is still mined, although its use, e.g. in gardening or processing into fuel, has fallen into disrepute. This is mainly due to the poor CO2 balance of peat. In addition, draining the bog areas allows more oxygen to enter the peat, which in turn makes microorganisms more active, which then convert peat into CO2. Since the 1980s, conservationists have been pointing out the dangers of peat extraction and advocating for the protection of natural raised bogs and rewetting.    \r\n<h3>Do Bogs Have a Future?<\/h3>\r\nThe last half of the podcast is about the future of bogs. Against the background of state funding, our guest describes the turnaround towards sustainability and gives an assessment of whether bogs have a future, names various interests in the use of bog areas and outlines a path for the preservation of bogs. \r\n\r\n<em>The podcast \u201cForsch! \u2013 Science in Conversation\u201d is a cooperation between the ForschungRegion Braunschweig and the Braunschweiger Zeitung.
