MOOSland aims to make a small plant grow big - peat moss. It can be produced as a renewable raw material to replace peat in horticulture with great benefits for the climate and the economy on rewetted degraded raised bog areas. The project intends to implement the cultivation and utilization of peat moss biomass on the large scale on two established sites in Lower Saxony, Germany. The various objectives range from demonstrating best practices and improving production efficiency to identifying future regional land-use pathways and quantifying ecological effects. The role of remote sensing within the MOOSland project aims at developing monitoring schemes for peat moss cultivation to inform adaptive management and to support the evaluation of on-site growing experiments.
