a Map of organic soils in Germany (updated map by Thünen Institute of Climate-Smart Agriculture, Braunschweig66). Estimate of organic soils is updated to 1.93 Mha (1.87 Mha without thickly covered peat soils) with legend units more relevant to GHG emissions, hydrological modeling and possible mitigation measures. b Location of the study site and footprint climatology calculated for the year 2018 using Kormann and Meixner56 analytical model. Each isolines represent 10% of the annual flux footprint and the red dot indicates the location of the EC tower. The imagery used is a digital orthophoto image (resolution of 0.1 m) from 2018.
