Accumulation of organic carbon over the past 200 years in alpine peatlands, northeast China
Environmental Earth Sciences, 2014Peatlands are widely distributed throughout northeast China and form a large carbon (C) pool. The main types include plain wetlands and alpine peatlands. Compared to the former, the historical development and C dynamics of the alpine peatlands are still not well understood.

Geomorphic and vegetation patterns within peatlands are strictly related, and reflect the interactions among topography, hydrogeology, and climate. Vegetation patterns are closely related to soil moisture, drainage patterns, bulk density and carbon content, and the spatial distribution of different plant species as well as the spatial variability of ...

Ionic regulation in an alpine peatland in the Bogong High Plains, Victoria, Australia
Environmental Chemistry, 2009Environmental context. Australian alpine peatlands are thought to have an important role in maintaining water quality in the associated headwater streams. This study has confirmed that these peatlands can significantly modify stream water through a range of mechanisms, including: nutrient uptake, salt sequestering, and the export of organic carbon ...

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2015
Peatlands are widely developed in the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but little is known about carbon budgets for these alpine peatland ecosystems. In this study, we used an automatic chamber system to measure ecosystem respiration in the Hongyuan peatland, which is located in the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Annual ecosystem respiration measurements

Zoige alpine peatland as the highest and largest peat swamp area in the world plays an important role in regulating global climate change and stabilizing GHG emissions, and GHG emissions are getting more and more concern due to water table decline induced by the combined effects of climate warming and digging ditches in Zoige alpine peatland. Therefore,

Mapping Italian Alpine Peatlands Using Multisource Satellite Imagery and Machine Learning Approach
While we are aware that the Italian Alps host thousands of small peatlands, the precise estimate remains uncertain due to the absence of a comprehensive map. These ecosystems are extremely valuable because, in addition to storing large amounts of organic carbon, they provide many other ecosystem services.Qiqi Li, Manudeo Singh, Sonia Silvestri

Journal of Hydrology, 2019
Abstract Climate change and gullies (and ditches) on peatlands are well known factors altering peat hydrology. Yet, exactly how this alteration emerges from interaction of these factors with groundwater dynamics is still not fully understood. In this study, we tackled this issue by coupling field measurement with model simulation using Visual MODFLOW.

Biodiversity and plant growth-promoting traits of yeasts from alpine peatlands [PDF]
Peatlands are waterlogged areas where the rate of biomass production is greater than the rate of decomposition, thus resulting in the formation of peat, a complex material that consists of partly fossilized plant residues. Peatlands can be found in the arctic, boreal, temperate and tropical zones, and support a unique biodiversity in terms of plants ...
