How expert insight into alpine peatland conservation complements global scientific evidence

Conservation Biology, 2023
Abstract 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 persistence.

Spatio-Temporal Characteristics and Driving Mechanism of Alpine Peatland InSAR Surface Deformation—A Case Study of Maduo County, China

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Surface deformation of alpine peatland in China has an important effect on runoff and is of great significance for wetland ecosystem protection. However, spatio-temporal characteristics of alpine peatland surface deformation in China lack systematic ...

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 ...

Effects of water table level and nitrogen deposition on methane and nitrous oxide emissions in an alpine peatland [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2022
Alpine peatlands are recognized as a major natural contributor to the budgets of atmospheric methane (CH4) but as a weak nitrous oxide (N2O) source. Anthropogenic activities and climate change have put these fragile nitrogen (N)-limited peatlands under ...

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.

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

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 ...

Leaf area index and aboveground biomass estimation of an alpine peatland with a UAV multi-sensor approach

GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2023
Aboveground biomass (AGB) can serve as an indicator when estimating various biogeochemical processes in peatlands, an ecosystem which provides countless ecosystem services and plays a key role in climate regulation.

The carbon balance of an alpine peatland in Northern Italy [PDF]

, 2015
It is well known that peatlands store a vast amount of carbon in their soil and that with the ever-changing climate the stability of these carbon pools is under threat. But peatlands in high altitude regions are studied far less than peatlands in high latitude regions.
