Melting wetlands - How can nature slow down climate change? | DW Documentary

- Bogs and swamps contain more carbon than all other ground vegetation. As the permafrost melts, greenhouse gases are released, which in turn accelerate global warming.
Peatlands and wetlands play an important role in global warming because they influence the greenhouse gas cycle. But not all bogs are the same. Some bind carbon, while others release it into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide and methane emissions.
The film follows the work of two research teams investigating the influence of moors and swamps on the climate. Greenhouse gases escape when permafrost moors melt. But swamp and mire areas that have been thrown out of balance, for example by plantation farming for the production of palm oil, can actually accelerate climate change.
The documentary explains what happens when carbon escapes from swamp and moorland areas into the atmosphere and how nature's potential can be used to slow down climate change. "European peatlands contain five times more carbon than European forests. It is therefore very important that the carbon remains in the peatland,” says Dr. Minna Väliranta from the Environmental Research Centre at the University of Helsinki.
The researcher and her team are conducting field research to collect data on the effects of global warming on Arctic permafrost peatlands. Until now, there has been little data from the far north of Europe; many research findings from other regions have simply been generalized.

Living 10 years not far away from Kilpisjärvi - didn't know there's permafrost. Everyday we learn something new. Thank you DW.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
cos there is not ))
What a great Finnish take on it! Been to Finland many times, what a fascinating country and pragmatic people. And thank you DW for this film. Best wishes from Poland to you all!
@@Olpiny_5 Finland & poland share a few things in history.. like always having to worry if the russians will stay on THEIR side or not...
Here in Brazil the Pantanal wetlands, probably the largest in the world, are burning and leave only 10% of original water.
Very informative of you too!
In siberia, the land that before was permafrost now has so called zombie fires. Fire underground that newer stop, they can burn for years.
The methane relised from the soil when it thaws feed the fires..
End times , humans are going bye bye so the earth 🌍 can regenerate.
@@ingridakerblom7577 We have the same fires burning in the Canadian north.
Thank all of you guys, if it weren't for you (and DW and Yt) I would know dicksquat here in central Europe.
Best of luck to Finland. Unfortunately here, in Australia, our governments listen to donors, not scientists.
You misspelled America.
@gerryhouska2859 in Finland after ww2, our politicians were acting with common sense. Believe it or not!
The government looked at what other countries did & what had actually worked. And we did things that others had been successful with & developed from there..
We are not afraid to child a moment & think about things. So we can do it the right way from the start.
Everyone is going for the same goal. What is best for our small country. Not Whats best for your carrier. In finland your income & status don't matter as much. Private schools are not allowed, the wellfare we have esp for parents, makes out society more equal not only between sexes. But we are not as classist as others..
Corroption is almost non-existent.. so
Yeah, our biggest worries are the climate & the neighbour we don't want in the east..
What would Finland do to stop China and India? The west could cease all fossil fuel emissions today and it wouldn't matter one bit.
Global oligarchy is imposing the same wealth disparity that was the root cause of the French Revolution, worldwide. They buy “elected” representatives to pass laws to cement their profit ahead of the human right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Soak up the sun, while it’s still free.
They certainly don't listen to me, and so I don't tell them anything.
Who knew bogs could be this interesting! Thanks DW!
Work to preserve & restore any such wetlands are ongoing in most nordic countries. Due to the risk they pose towards the green house effect..
Methane is way worse than Co2..
Love the bogs ❤
Thanks DW well informative need more channels like yours

Anthrax can last a very long time even in ordinary soils. Scary to think of what's in the permafrost.
How long can Anthrax survive in nature?
@@arbaz79Decades in temperate environments. Gruinard Island was actively contaminated for forty years following 1942 biological weapons tests until decontaminated in 1986 by formaldehyde spraying which destroyed all life on the island.

Exactly
both are doing it
@@coraltown1 We consumers don't get to choose how our electricity is generated or how our cars are powered or how are goods are manufactured, and you'll be homeless without access to those resources in the modern economy. Those are decisions that are made at the top of the command chain, so no, I am not responsible for the fact that 90% of cars are ICE powered. And if you want to get into the history of it, it was mostly market manipulation that caused these changes, big oil, the auto lobby and others all colluded to stop biodiesel, electric vehicles, mass transit and ethanol compatible engines, and FORCED the market to adopt fossil ICE. I had no hand in that, and neither did anyone else reading this thread. Stop blaming the overtaxed, overworked, under appreciated masses and put the blame where it belongs: with the grand planners, decision makers, politicians and captains of industry.

@@Pistolita221People lived quite successfully before we started using fossil fuel so we can do it again if we are forced to though it requires huge sacrifices that very few are currently prepared to make. Blaming others achieves nothing. There is no easy way out.
We turned a haven on Earth, into a toxic wasteland.
Shame.
except we can't
This is first time i hear they study this in finland. And i life in finland. Wtf
The swedes to the same. It's bcs when these wetlands dries, they release much methane, that's even worse for the green house effect than Co2..
It't not been known for too long how much methane & Co2 they actually release..
So that's why they are starting to restore & preserve. The issue is the mosquitoes.. nobody wants a wetland to close to them, bcs off the mosquitos that follows.. On top off the nusense we now have mosquito carried disease in Finland, that we haven't had before.
I live on Åland, the landscape is not the same as the mainland. We don't have the same wetlands at all, or lakes & springs everywhere like on the mainland..
Its live not life.

Thanks for the efforts DW team.
Thank you for watching!
Waterlogged wetlands produces methane and CO2. (2C + 2H2O = CH4 + CO2), but if drained it produces CO2 (C+O2 = CO2). In some wetlands this is a yearly cycle that creates lots of ghg's. But in other areas it is too dry for large methane emissions. This means if you raise watertable in dried wetlands you get lots of methane emissions (some estimates says more than they will absorb in 1000 years). So you have to be careful where to raise watertable.
You may see Finlands methane emissions from the drained swamps from the satellite measurements. Near Vaasa this becomes visible from space and it is one of the worst areas in the world.
These wetland and even forest emissions are why Finland is currently struggling with limiting emissions. Previously forests were counted as carbon sinks, but they have become a carbon source.
Similar things can be seen globally. Our forests are turning to a carbon source.
Beautiful!
Beautiful visuals
An extremely well presented climate - ecosystem documentary; super educational and informative. Thank you DW for an important video. In New Zealand where I live the following is true "Since the mid-19th century, New Zealand has lost about 90% of its wetland areas due to draining for dairy farming. Many remaining wetlands are also degraded due to pollution, grazing, drainage and presence of invasive plants" (Wikipedia). Unfortunately, contrary to European perception, New Zealand is not so much a actively managing its environment being more concerned with agricultural exports , originally developed to feed the British as part of its empire. In the1980s in particular with the full implentation neoliberal economic principles embedded in a strongly capitalist system, dairy, beef, and lamb exporting together with other forms of 'industrial agriculture' have decimated the flora and fauna of the landscape and biome. Similarly with the oceans within the country's EEZ. A sad state of affairs which looks set to continue apace.
Thanks for sharing! This is such an imp. feedback about the situation in your country!
That's us, humans that seize an opportunity to do good.
Thank you DW.
Thank you for watching. :)
Since the 1980s, a decrease in air pollution has led to a partial reversal of the dimming trend, sometimes referred to as global brightening. This global brightening had contributed to the acceleration of global warming, which began in the 1990s. In 1990, the IPCC First Assessment Report acknowledged that "Human-made aerosols, from sulphur emitted largely in fossil fuel combustion can modify clouds and this may act to lower temperatures", while "a decrease in emissions of sulphur might be expected to increase global temperatures". In 2020, COVID-19 lockdowns provided a notable "natural experiment", as there had been a marked decline in sulfate and black carbon emissions caused by the curtailed road traffic and industrial output. That decline did have a detectable warming impact: it was estimated to have increased global temperatures by 0.01-0.02 °C (0.018-0.036 °F) initially and up to 0.03 °C (0.054 °F) by 2023, before disappearing. Regionally, the lockdowns were estimated to increase temperatures by 0.05-0.15 °C (0.090-0.270 °F) in eastern China over January-March, and then by 0.04-0.07 °C (0.072-0.126 °F) over Europe, eastern United States, and South Asia in March-May, with the peak impact of 0.3 °C (0.54 °F) in some regions of the United States and Russia.
great work ♥♥♥
Thank you for your comment!
informative article...............thank you all
Great pronunciation ❤
Finland has no permafrost. Some places can have 10 to 50 years frost inside vetlands areas. They eventually smelt. Palsa-suo is one example.
Finland has permafrost.
Where? sOMETEN YEARS frost is not permafrost.
@@karihamalainen9622 , Finland has palsas that meet the definition of permafrost. The area you mentioned has ages up to 2,000 years old. All permafrost has "something years" frost, as even "perma" frost has a beginning. The oldest palsa in Finland is around 10,000 years I believe.
Palsas grows height and once it is high enough wind and rain eats insulation layer away and it smelts. These are not permafrosts but ongoing process. There are few places in Finland can be said honests permafrosts. These are holow structures in groundrock. We lost one permafros place couple of years ago.
what a good documentary
Thank you for your comment!
It's complicated, but it's good to know this is being studied.
The counterplot of land is to grow vegetation and store carbon. Human beings are more focused on trading between one another than letting the forest and fields be.
Forget carbon. If the permafrost melts, we lose a major part of the global heatsink.
Ive seen some climate scientist said that Northern Europe could end up with a mini iceage if gulf stream stops , so much would be frozen in the north of the planet
@@larsstougaard7097 Only long-term. First we fry. We're now hitting over 50ºC. When it gets to 60ºC maybe people will understand. It is at a planetary scale...NOT at the human scale. Once you lose the heatsink, it's like a car without a radiator. You blow up the engine.
@@jhaduvala agree there is and will be extreme heat in a belt across the earth. Watching how people and the world leaders behave like children Im not confident much will be done to prevent it. We just have to accept this path, earth will be fine its just another era ending .
@@larsstougaard7097 Sure earth will be fine. We won't. It's already global. It's not in a belt.
@jhaduvala well I guess it depends on where you live, Im 51 and live in Denmark. Weather hasn't changed that must the last 30 years, yes maybe milder winters and a few hotter summer days. Right now its raining and 18 degrees. I read Denmark will get some degrees warmer weather and more rainstorms. In future we will get the weather of some parts of Germany. I feel sad for those in extreme heat right now
Im going to pursue the environmental science course 😃
Very interesting.
I think one way is to decrease shore lines by implementing boulders and rock formation between oceans and where coastlines are visible .. this would help to decrease the tides from rolling in any further 😊❤❤😊
The climate is changing and there's not a single thing we can do about. But that won't stop the governments from increasing taxes and forcing EVs on everyone.
First off, there is plenty we can do about it. But you're right that For sure, the rich are to blame, but people keep voting for those who will hold up the status quo, unfortunately.
its natural , not man made that is impossible
Just ask them where all the copper for the EV and green energy will come from.
(There simply isnt nearly enough copper production to do it)
And copper is the "easy" to get metal...
Great as ever 👏 ❤
We have much arctic wetlands here in Canada as well. (Trivia: methane is pronounced here as 'meth', not as 'meeth')
It is "meeth" in Australia, but then you speak Yank.
They should already be planting trees to capture this carbon and take advantage of the rising temperature.
32:29 There is already a study to this topic from AGU, 03 April 2024 "The Net GHG Balance and Budget of the Permafrost Region (2000-2020) From Ecosystem Flux Upscaling", that says, northern permafrost is a net greenhouse gas emitter. Since Finland is part of the northern permafrost region and has similar ecosystem dynamics as the studied areas, it is likely that Finnish permafrost will also become a source of greenhouse gases.
First thing strikes after noticing the word "permafrost" is web series The Last Ship😬😷
The Scientists tugging on the pipe getting it up out of the ground and on the end one of then has a hurt back :D . They should have studied archimedes :D
archimedes would have told the to use leverage and making them their live so much easier. even just a plate on the ground, so that it doesnt sink in, a weldec metal rod on it straight up and on top maybe just a horzontal bar welded on for theyr pliers to sit on and get them leverage should be enough 🙂you could totaly get fancyer with an adjustable height, but it also really must be still lightweight i think.
Beautiful footage ❤❤❤
There is no permafrost in Finland.
I'm terrified of a climate that STOPS changing. This entire videos information is dubious at best.
So from the soil samples in the northern wetlands, it was warmer and more humid prior to the Little Ice Age. Then it became permafrost and now it’s humid again so moss can grow.
Sounds like the climate changed way before the 1850s.
and monkeys live in trees !
Yeah, the earths climate has changed a lot, we went from an ice age to a hot house around 250 million years ago, and humans exist today so it must have been fine. Look up the Permian Triassic Boundary, that's when it occurred. They even claim CO2 caused it!
Thank you for bringing this topic up. As a Fin I've heard so much about drying the swamp areas. It's been like the method for growing wood and to get more farmland and excavating peat for energy and potting soil. We just can't handle it like it used to be in yr.1300. Bit more people on planet. Don't buy peat for soil and see who in your political arena demands rights to drain the swamp.
Do you think that vegetation of a larger size will start to move into these areas as frost melts?
As a finn I'm pretty sceptical there are any noyeworthy permafrosts here. Thumbnail sure isn't.
35:41 -" we will see if the predictive models we designed come true"
37:10 as they have been focusing on this 1 crack in the peat, she states, "we do not know if peat has come to the end of its natural lifecycle "or...+ bit later " we do get these methane bombs,but its very slow"
"Old methane"... Well, methane freezes at -182C, so nope, it is not frozen inside permafrost. More likely the permafrost has created lids, bubbles and other chambers that has taken methane in them. Similar things have been seen in nature, specially when water penetrates the lid and methane begins to bubble through. Some most potent methane levels have been found at lake shores where the lid punctures have happened. These lids may contain methane from very large areas.
I don't think its methane, but organic matter that produces methane, and when organic matter thaws, it begins to rot and release methane. Its anaerobic bacteris that causes methane production. Climate change means more rotting means more methane production. The burst is when the bacteria colony has accumulated enough methane. So nothing to do with freezing point of methane. These are microbes that munch on the organic matter and farts, like cows but more abundant.
@@thevindictive6145 Methane is created by bacteria, ofc. But then methane is captured inside permafrost in bubbles... "Rot" is most often caused by bacteria.
Also the "rapid" release can be instant or just buildup during days in warmer conditions than when sample was taken. In this case I'd call it more instant release, so bubbles are likely main cause of it. And they are that in nature too as explained.
@@martiansoon9092 sorry, I am not very good at sarcasm. Me being too simple minded.
@@thevindictive6145 Np. I often get rough answers and I charge often too harsly after them. Most often with knowlegde.
And you are not simple minded, just less informed in this field of knowledge.
After few well written science papers and dozens of science based articles and more updates, news flashes, even watching science gatherings, ... you might get there too... But only if you want to spend weeks and months reading and trying to understand them...
And there are plenty of similar things under climate themes. (Well I have not found issue that is not somehow climate related...)
@@martiansoon9092 I rather diversify in knowledge, but I do know a little about climate change and the politics behind the reluctance of people to do anything, instead to speed forward to an impending doom. Climate change in the end in my perspective is not about CO2 and such, but more about the mass delusional state society is in and the mass brainwashing our mainstream media has convinced the masses that we still have a lot of time. I have given up altogether and believe we have years left. Maybe not more then 2030.
So I don't think I have the time to specialize in this field, but there is so little time to learn so much. All the best to you and good luck.
Don't accidentally close your eyes @6:22...
It is so horrific, my worst nightmares are coming reality
In India, many natural wetlands were converted into fish breeding fields, resulting in the loss of its natural ecosystem, which was previously rich with lotus plants and birds 😢.
"Finland's permafrost" You should check your sources.
Very important topic. Thank you to DW. Best entomology and zoology greetings from Ukraine.❤😮❤🦋🐛🐞🦋
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! Best wishes. :)
DW's shadow ban bot has the thinnest skin on all of RUclips.
I think we need to be clearer about temporary and permanent carbon sinks. Insert a forest into a desert, and carbon will be captured. But once in place, it is carbon neutral. Peat bogs, on the other hand, continue to extract more and more carbon as they get deeper.. Similarly, methane is a one-off accelerant for around 200 years, after which it converts to CO2 in the atmosphere.
If there is a possibility to encounter with dangerous viruses like anthrax why they are touching the soil samples with bare hands? Wouldn't we need some precautions here like masks and gloves?
It’s the earth ,we need all the countries big or small, people , rich or poor to participate with this climate changes. It’s not too late to plant trees all over the world. Billionaires need to participate too, besides this is the only planet that they can reside along with their offsprings.
The Earth has times of freezing ( ice age) and times of melting. This has been going on for thousands of years' and we cannot control it. We are in a melting stage right now, but in the future we will have a freezing period and we cannot fix that either.
Things thaw out a bit in Siberia too, come summer. And these are good times: wetlands are crucibles of life, teeming with all sorts of small things that help support larger ecosystems. Birds need food when migrating, etc.
A bit? I'm guessing you never heard off zombie fires?
@@ingridakerblom7577 Oh yes - lots of methane. just a little static electricity is all thats needed to set it off.
The new business.
Perhaps commence a campaign against atmospheric hydrocarbon with the fossil fuel corporations and the trail of destruction they have wrought and are wreaking?
Is a frozen land a wetland ? It is what it is ?Wouldn't a better title be Melting Permafrost.
The surface is normally melting and get wet in the summer, and ice only remains further down in the peat. So the surface and vegetation is similar to non frozen bogs
@@lubricustheslippery5028 precise was.
Grow more trees and less vehicle emissions is a start!
WROOOOOONG QUEEEEEEESTION!
The ocean is frozen in argentina
40:55 "the message from science is clear: it's not too late". The message from economists is equally clear: grow, grow, grow! The global co2, ch4, n20 concentrations keep going up year after year.
We in New Zealand are rejuvenating our wetlands too as sea levels are slowly rising 🕊🌊🌏😇
I'm a Finn and in school they never told that there are permafrost in Finland at all. I googled this and yes - in Finland there are hardly any permafrost at all. Already in 2003 in one news article is said (in Finnish) that you can hardly find any permafrost in Finland and it's really rare. Even the climate 20 years ago didn't support permafrost in Finland. So sorry. I'm not watching your documentary.
Carbon? I think you meant methane
Methane is a hydrocarbon.
"How 'nature' can speed up Climate Change" ..they made a little mistake in the headline. Humans... you know
yes because its the impact from human activity which is accelerating natural processes like the thawing of the permafrost.
a swing and a miss !
@@KS777-h1w no humans can not
We still have permafrost?
🤣👍 thank you for that.
of course don't worry these videos are meant to shock the weak minded
The untold importance of permafrost is the enormous amount of heat energy being absorbed by the melting 6mm of the 11% of Earth's land surface (57M sq. mi.). 1 pound of ice absorbs 144 BTUs in melting. The bigger story is the 1.2 trillion tons of melting global ice annually, 3.3 B daily, all while sopping-up the heat energy equivalent of 20 Hiroshima yield nuclear bomb blasts PER SECOND, each yielding 63 trillion BTUs. Carbon is important, although the 1 trillion tons of water vapor rising into the atmosphere daily and making the largest GHG contribution, is more important in Earth's Energy Imbalance.
Interesting! Never heard that before, but makes total sense.
If you care about global warming due to greenhouse hydrocarbons, first look to the fossil fuel and global arms rackets.
Another great video to watch is by PBS's NOVA - Arctic Sinkholes!
natural carbon circulation does not equal human carbon over-use and degradation
Excuse me? Is this William from Help I Sexted My Boss narrating?
If the world were one country, reducing inequality would, up to a certain point, reduce production and therefore emissions without reducing living quality. Doesn’t work though if multiple countries are economically competing with each other and none can afford to significantly reduce its production in the name of saving the climate. Saving the climate is a lost cause in a capitalist world.
This is Good. It's too cold in Finland.
An tarctic too
The earth needs cold places. Don't think selfishly about your own comfort; it's short-sighted and ignorant.
@@jessicaheger1880 Wrong.
I'm referring to the animals and plants. Most lifeforms prefer warm weather.
They might harden themselves up for dry, cold, uncomfortable environments.
But they prefer Nice and Warm.
@@DanielWatson-vv7cd
"Most" doesn't really count for arctic animals as life on earth, be it plants, animals, insects and the rest of living beings has developed to live in the places they are - with the climatical differences there is.
The globe heating as fast as it does will be a almost unbeatable challenge. For all life forms.
@@oneshothunter9877 Lifeforms can adapt. And as I stated before, the vast majority of life on planet Earth prefer warm weather, shallow water ecosystems, and or lowland areas.
Some have branch out into more uncomfortable environments (deep ocean, high mountain ranges, or dry desert regions) but prefer a more Balanced type of ecosystem.
Check 31:20-32:40its old methane". + "No one can say ,If this has cooling or heating effect" +"This is a pilot study " .
Old methane or new methane. It's physical properties is the same
not pemafrost anymore..... it's now simply frost.
iiii
had to thaw out sometime.....was unfrozen before....its dirt.....and will freeze again....grow up!
All of the paid comments thanking DW. we need an ice age.
Climate change will be an ecological opportunity for several species of animals, birds, fish and insects, perhaps even producing new species, accelerating the natural evolution of some of them. But none of this is true for our species. We are sedentary, we depend on ecological stability to produce food on a large scale and our societies are very fragile and cannot withstand the intense tensions produced by widespread hunger.
Stop using your brain so much. Some of us here don't like that
Highly unlikely any species adapts to the rapid changes we’re about to experience
We also have too few young and our generations take FAR too long. It's true though, after the Permian Extinction, animals doubled in maximum size within 20 million years, and they doubled their maximum land speed, too from ~25mph to ~45mph, and then after the dinosaurs, mammals are generally significantly more intelligent, faster, more agile and have greater endurance (generally). While yes, this likely the end of mammalian dominance on earth, Lizards and birds are pretty MF cool.
@@Jc-ms5vv it always happens, we're nothing special, this is the 6th named mass extinction, and probably not even the 10th of all mass extinctions. Earth and the biosphere will keep chugging, just not with us.
@@Pistolita221 just this time we caused our own extinction
People should be glad that the world is warming up because the big cooling is coming and then most of the world will be uninhabitable.
The world heats up before it gets cold.
So what do you suggest?.. Another Ice Age?.
We should be working on ways to ADAPT towards the change in climate instead of trying to curb the change... NATURE always win.
Planetary astrometry tells us what average temperature a planet will have once we know the gases in the atmosphere. Carl Sagan explained this to the US Congress in 1985. That increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will increase the average temperature of a planet was known in the 1800’s. The Navies of the world are already dealing with ocean level rise because of the location of their bases. Go argue with your country’s admirals and see how far you get. Climate scientists are very conservative in their projections, things are much worse. Already saw a winter tourist destination deal with a snowless February, rip the snowmobile dealers and ski slopes, no record of anything like that before in an area that is used to February daily temperatures ranging from -20 to 25 F. Minimum of 15 degrees higher then normal. Including temperatures since 1990 is a biased normal.
If the far north warms up, we'll burn less fuel for heating, and be forced into cars slightly less.
The cold plains of Russia and Canada will support more life, both wild and agricultural.
Have you noticed where most life prefers to exist? Especially human.
It's not the Arctic.
Yes, carbon is what's driving climate change... but isn't it more clear to say that human activities are the cause of such an unnatural increase in carbon? Saying carbon is causing climate change negates the human element.
Taylor Swift private jet is doing all too well 😂😂😂
cos she knows as well as others that climate science is for baby brains
#246Lived all over Alaska during The Great Warming in the 1980s, when Fairbanks would zoom over 95°F under the constant Midnight Sun, and Kodiak was the "Northernmost Hawaiian Island" 70°°s. _All the permafrost would melt and then refreeze._ The buildings in Northern Alaska are on special 'permafrost piling' including the AlCan pipeline. Who knew!? But last Summer of No Summer and now looks like 2024 also Summer of No Summer it's still in the 40°Fs across Alaska. *Permafrost, which is only a thin layer of soil on ice, sand, gravel and clay CONTAINS NO METHANE!* 😂🎉
