Variations of methane stable isotopic values from an Alpine peatland on the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Acta Geochimica, 2021
Isotopic signature is a powerful tool to discriminate methane (CH4) source types and constrain regional and global scale CH4 budgets. Peatlands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau are poorly understood about the isotopic signature of CH4 due to the limited experimental conditions.

Accumulation of organic carbon over the past 200 years in alpine peatlands, northeast China

Environmental Earth Sciences, 2014
Peatlands 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.

A multi-sensor approach to the study of geomorphic, vegetation and hydrogeologic patterns of Alpine peatlands

2023
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, 2009
Environmental 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 ...

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.

Dynamic changes of groundwater storage and flows in a disturbed alpine peatland under variable climatic conditions

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]

open access: possible
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 ...
