Short summary
Fen soils in northwest Germany are mainly intensively utilized for dairy farming. To estimate their climatic impact, the greenhouse gas exchange of four sites with different management intensity was measured using closed manual chambers. Results showed that long-term drainage intensity is more important for the global warming potential of fen soils than the type of management. Lowest yield-related emissions were achieved on a three-cut grassland with a high mean groundwater level.
