Remote Sensing of Alpine Peatlands: Challenges of Mapping Thousands of Sparse Small Sites Scattered Across Extensive Mountainous Territories

Earth and Space Science
Alpine peatlands are one of the carbon reservoirs, provide vital ecosystem services, and support endangered biodiversity. However, they are globally understudied, including those in the Italian Alps, which host thousands of small sites averaging under 1 ...

Plant and Soil Enzyme Activities Regulate CO2 Efflux in Alpine Peatlands After 5 Years of Simulated Extreme Drought [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Increasing attention has been given to the impact of extreme drought stress on ecosystem ecological processes. Ecosystem respiration (Re) and soil respiration (Rs) play a significant role in the regulation of the carbon (C) balance because they are two ...

Belowground cross-trophic networks impact CH4 and CO2 emissions in degraded alpine peatlands

Geoderma
Belowground organisms forming complex cross-trophic ecological networks are essential for maintaining peatland carbon stability and energy flow. However, how peatland degradation affects the biodiversity and cross-trophic ecological networks of soil ...

Probabilistic Petrophysical Reconstruction of Danta's Alpine Peatland via Electromagnetic Induction Data

Earth and Space Science
Peatlands are fundamental deposits of organic carbon. Thus, their protection is of crucial importance to avoid emissions from their degradation. Peat is a mixture of organic soil that originates from the accumulation of wetland plants under continuous or

Disproportionate Changes in the CH₄ Emissions of Six Water Table Levels in an Alpine Peatland [PDF]

Atmosphere, 2020
The Zoige alpine peatlands are one of the highest and largest alpine peatlands in the world and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Drainage is the main disturbance at Zoige, and the drawdown of the water table level changes CH4 emissions.

Restoration of formerly afforested blanket bog: Estimating time for vegetation recovery. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Peatland restoration aims to restore hydrology and peat‐forming vegetation, supporting other ecosystem functions. However, the time required for complete vegetation recovery is generally unknown. Here, we investigate this in an experimentally restored, formerly afforested blanket bog in northern Scotland, which was plowed, fertilized, and ...

Investigation of 200 anthropogenic activities in a representative alpine peatland in the Altay Mountains, northwestern China. [PDF]

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int, 2023
AbstractPeatlands records can be used to reconstruct and understand the history of environmental evolution, as well as a more accurate reflection of human activities. The black carbon (BC) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ideal natural archives of anthropogenic activities.

Identifying Anthropogenic Sources of Heavy Metals in Alpine Peatlands over the Past 150 Years: Examples from Typical Peatlands in Altay Mountains, Northwest China. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2023
Alpine mountain peatlands are valuable archives of climatic and anthropogenic impact. However, the impacts of human activities on the Altay peatlands are poorly documented. Therefore, studying heavy metal (HM) concentrations, evaluating HM pollution levels, and identifying the sources in the Altay Mountain peatlands are crucial for revealing the ...
