Rewetting Åmose

The Wetland Restoration Project in Western Zealand aims to set up a comprehensive monitoring infrastructure for identifying and studying environmental transitions in relation to hydrological modifications and land-use changes. Through a mixture of in-situ monitoring and novel remote sensing, the project will build the foundation for a unique and holistic monitoring system for synchronized measurements across scales and realms. The monitoring efforts are designed to be highly interdisciplinary covering multiple environmental spheres, and with a long-term perspective by incorporating adaptability to future developments in monitoring techniques and standards. The project focuses on establishing a research-based infrastructure for future impact assessment of the dynamics of biodiversity, greenhouse gases, ecosystem carbon storage, and nutrient cycling across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems undergoing wetland restoration and transformative change. This infrastructure will establish a prewetting baseline with monitoring schemes, sample collection, instrumentation, and laboratory analyses, as well as organizing the data following FAIR data principles in a data catalogue. The infrastructure established through the project can provide the basis for future fundamental and hypothesis-generating research, multi-criteria environmental impact assessments, and a potential national and international research hub.
