Rewetting peatlands: Sensor technology and underground radio communication to protect climate and health

In order to achieve the climate protection targets in Germany, it is not only necessary to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the energy sector, industry and transportation. As important carbon reservoirs, moorland soils must also be protected and drained moors must be rewetted. To ensure that they can still be used for agriculture, scientists from TU Ilmenau and Kompass GmbH, Ilmenau, have joined forces to research and develop a new type of wireless sensor technology and underground radio communication. ...
