Alpine Peatlands of the Andes, Cajamarca, Peru [PDF]

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2010
Abstract An ecological analysis of wetlands in the high mountain jalca above 3700 m elevation in the Andes near Cajamarca, Peru, indicated that most wetlands are groundwater-supported peat-accumulating fens. The floristic composition of fen communities was controlled largely by groundwater chemistry, which was highly variable and influenced by ...

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.

Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...

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.

Effects of extreme drought on soil microbial functional genes involved in carbon and nitrogen cycling in alpine peatland

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Diverse microorganisms drive biogeochemical cycles and consequently influence ecosystem-level processes in alpine peatlands, which are vulnerable to extreme drought induced by climate change.

Characterizing Alpine peatlands from drones: a case study

, 2022
Alpine peatlands occur in alpine, sub-alpine and mountain regions of the world and can be frequently found on the Alps as well as on the Andes, on the Tibetan Plateau, on the Australian Alps and in other regions of the world. Italian Alps host a large number of relatively small bogs and fens that can be found on gently sloping surfaces or in small ...

The effect of drainage on CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions in the Zoige peatland: a 40-month in situ study [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2018
The Zoige peatland on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the largest alpine peatland in the world, is currently experiencing unprecedented water stress due to climate change and human activities.

Interactions and Covariation of Ecological Drivers Control CO2 Fluxes in an Alpine Peatland

Wetlands, 2023
AbstractPeatland ecosystems are a highly effective long-term carbon sink. However, the CO2 fluxes could be substantially altered by climate changes and the fate of carbon stored in these ecosystems is still uncertain. Currently, most studies concerning the carbon fluxes in peatlands were performed at high latitude sites, where these ecosystems are more

Methane emissions offset net carbon dioxide uptake from an alpine peatland on the Eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021
AbstractPeatlands store large amounts of carbon (C) and actively exchange greenhouse gases (GHGs) with the atmosphere, thus significantly affecting global C cycle and climate. Large uncertainty exists in C and GHG estimates of the alpine peatlands on Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP), as direct measurements of CO2 and CH4 fluxes are scarce in this region ...

Nongrowing Season CO₂ Emissions Determine the Distinct Carbon Budgets of Two Alpine Wetlands on the Northeastern Qinghai—Tibet Plateau

Atmosphere, 2021
Alpine wetlands sequester large amounts of soil carbon, so it is vital to gain a full understanding of their land-atmospheric CO2 exchanges and how they contribute to regional carbon neutrality; such an understanding is currently lacking for the Qinghai ...
