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.

Water content alters soil organic carbon metabolism via microbial traits in Tibetan alpine peatlands [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Alpine peatlands on the eastern Tibetan Plateau are vital carbon sinks, with soil moisture playing a key role in peatland carbon cycling. However, they face disruptions in their carbon balance due to drought, which reduces soil water content.

Rewetting Decreases Carbon Emissions from the Zoige Alpine Peatland on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Sustainability, 2017
Peatlands play an important role in the global carbon cycle and potentially have a significant impact on regional climate change. Restoring and rewetting the degraded peatlands is an urgent task.

Reduced Carbon Dioxide Sink and Methane Source under Extreme Drought Condition in an Alpine Peatland [PDF]

Sustainability, 2018
Potential changes in both the intensity and frequency of extreme drought events are vital aspects of regional climate change that can alter the distribution and dynamics of water availability and subsequently affect carbon cycles at the ecosystem level ...

Carbon fluxes of an alpine peatland in Northern Italy [PDF]

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2016
It is widely known that peatlands are a significant carbon (C) stock. Most peatlands are located in boreal and subarctic regions of the northern hemisphere but some occur also at high altitude and, contrary to the first; their contribution in terms of carbon sequestration is far less studied.

How expert insight into alpine peatland conservation complements global scientific evidence

Conservation Biology, 2023
Experts can provide valuable information to fill knowledge gaps in published research on management effectiveness, particularly for threatened ecosystems, for which there is often limited evidence and the need for prompt intervention to ensure their ...

Interactions and Covariation of Ecological Drivers Control CO_2 Fluxes in an Alpine Peatland

Wetlands, 2023
Peatland ecosystems are a highly effective long-term carbon sink. However, the CO_2 fluxes could be substantially altered by climate changes and the fate of carbon stored in these ecosystems is still uncertain.
