In his doctoral thesis, BECC-member Patryk Łakomiec examined how northern peatlands exchange carbon dioxide and methane with the atmosphere. His findings show that thawing permafrost changes how these ecosystems process carbon and could help improve estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions. What did your research focus on?“I examined the exchange of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane
