However, measuring these greenhouse gas emissions in different places is not the goal; it is the means. We want to map emissions for all Dutch peatland areas and we want to predict the effect that measures will have. Greenhouse gas emissions from Dutch peat soils are determined by a wide range of factors. Measuring different parameters for all these factors and comparing them to the emissions measured will enable us to obtain a much better understanding of the processes in the soil. That is known as mechanistic understanding, and that is what we want to achieve. It will allow us to take a much more modelled approach to emissions and the effectiveness of measures for the whole of the Netherlands, and to test this against actual measurements. The most important parameters measured are given below. First are the greenhouse gases and the subsidence itself as a result of the processes in the soil, and following that, the factors influencing the processes in the soil.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-1265bk-b580d88ea1e9ef7ff6786b66751f3e8e main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1983'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-xge7k-e8bf56edc892673a442b11188518b649\">\n.flex_column.av-xge7k-e8bf56edc892673a442b11188518b649{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-xge7k-e8bf56edc892673a442b11188518b649 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-17  el_before_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2jcrk-4ae1b116fc105d3493d2d50eedb5f309\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-2jcrk-4ae1b116fc105d3493d2d50eedb5f309{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-2jcrk-4ae1b116fc105d3493d2d50eedb5f309 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-2jcrk-4ae1b116fc105d3493d2d50eedb5f309 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-2jcrk-4ae1b116fc105d3493d2d50eedb5f309 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-18  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >GREENHOUSE GASES<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-njf4o-548d71443325534afac38ad218dde000'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><button class=\"responsivevoice-button\" type=\"button\" title=\"ResponsiveVoice Tap to Start\/Stop Speech\" data-rvtts-action=\"speak\" data-rvtts-text=\"CO2 Greenhouse gas fluxes are measured in the same way at all NOBV sites. This is also true of the environmental variables that influence greenhouse gas emissions, and variables that are needed to scale up the fluxes. In order to generate longer measuring series, measuring is done with automatic chambers. To gain insight into greenhouse gas emissions on a slightly larger scale, eddy covariance masts are used at several locations (Zegveld, Aldeboarn and Lange Weide). Nitrous oxide Nitrous oxide (N2O) is created by biological processes (nitrification and denitrification) under wet conditions. In Zegveld, nitrous oxide fluxes are measured on four plots with different drainage and nitrogen fertilisation. These measurements are conducted with automatic chambers. Methane When there is a high groundwater level and when the soil is flooded, there is an increased risk of methane (CH4) emissions. This process of anaerobic peat decomposition occurs in the part of the soil that is underwater. There, other bacteria break the peat down into methane in oxygen-free (\u2018anaerobic\u2019) conditions.\" data-rvtts-voice=\"UK English Female\" data-rvtts-brand-url=\"https:\/\/responsivevoice.org\/?utm_source=wordpress-plugin&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=powered-by\" data-rvtts-brand-label=\"Powered by ResponsiveVoice\"><svg class=\"rvtts-icon\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" viewBox=\"0 0 22 22\" fill=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M11 0C4.92345 0 0 4.92345 0 11C0 13.2683 0.690345 15.3772 1.86621 17.1221L0.811724 21.0517L4.70345 20.0124C6.48621 21.2641 8.65586 22 11 22C17.0766 22 22 17.0766 22 11C22 4.92345 17.0766 0 11 0ZM3.99793 9.99862C3.99793 9.44483 4.44552 8.99724 4.99931 8.99724C5.5531 8.99724 6.00069 9.44483 6.00069 9.99862V12.0014C6.00069 12.5552 5.5531 13.0028 4.99931 13.0028C4.44552 13.0028 3.99793 12.5552 3.99793 12.0014V9.99862ZM8.99724 13.9966C8.99724 14.5503 8.54966 14.9979 7.99586 14.9979C7.44207 14.9979 6.99448 14.5503 6.99448 13.9966V7.99586C6.99448 7.44207 7.44207 6.99448 7.99586 6.99448C8.54966 6.99448 8.99724 7.44207 8.99724 7.99586V13.9966ZM12.0014 17.0007C12.0014 17.5545 11.5538 18.0021 11 18.0021C10.4462 18.0021 9.99862 17.5545 9.99862 17.0007V4.99931C9.99862 4.44552 10.4462 3.99793 11 3.99793C11.5538 3.99793 12.0014 4.44552 12.0014 4.99931V17.0007ZM14.9979 13.9966C14.9979 14.5503 14.5503 14.9979 13.9966 14.9979C13.4428 14.9979 12.9952 14.5503 12.9952 13.9966V7.99586C12.9952 7.44207 13.4428 6.99448 13.9966 6.99448C14.5503 6.99448 14.9979 7.44207 14.9979 7.99586V13.9966ZM18.0021 12.0014C18.0021 12.5552 17.5545 13.0028 17.0007 13.0028C16.4469 13.0028 15.9993 12.5552 15.9993 12.0014V9.99862C15.9993 9.44483 16.4469 8.99724 17.0007 8.99724C17.5545 8.99724 18.0021 9.44483 18.0021 9.99862V12.0014Z\"\/><\/svg><span class=\"responsivevoice-button__label\">Read text aloud<\/span><\/button> <br \/>\n<strong>CO2<\/strong><br \/>\nGreenhouse gas fluxes are measured in the same way at all NOBV sites.
