Abstract

The study was located in the coastal soils Katinger Watt a former tidal flat of the North Sea coast in Schleswig-Holstein Northern Germany. Carbon sequestration was determined by the ecological approach and calculated as the difference between total annual net primary production NPP and total annual heterotrophic respiration. The measurement was conducted every month from June 2006 to May 2007. The annual carbon sequestration in the arable land was estimated as 0.82 t C ha- yr- which indicates that the arable land acted as a net CO2 source during the investigation period. In the grassland about 0.18 t C ha- yr- was sequestered in the soil. In other words the grassland acted as a carbon sink during the investigation period.
