TY - T1 - Thickness of peat influences the leaching of substances and greenhouse gas emissions from a cultivated organic soil SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/335817 T3 - A1 - Yli-Halla, Markku; Lötjönen, Timo; Kekkonen, Jarkko; Virtanen, Seija; Marttila, Hannu; Liimatainen, Maarit; Saari, Markus; Mikkola, Jarmo; Suomela, Raija; Joki-Tokola, Erkki A2 - PB - Y1 - 2022 LA - eng AB - The off-site effects of agricultural organic soils include the leaching of N, P, and organic carbon (OC) to watercourses and CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions into the atmosphere. The aim of this study was to quantify how the thickness of organic layers affects these loads. A 19.56-ha experimental field drained by subsurface pipes was established in Ruukki, northwestern Finland. Three plots had a 60–80 cm-thick sedge peat layer and three others had a thickness of 20 cm or less. The drainage pipes lie ...
