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.

Spatiotemporal dynamics and driving mechanisms of alpine peatland wetlands in the eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau based on a Vision Transformer model

Ecological Indicators
The Zoige Wetland, located in the eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, is the world’s largest alpine peatland. Understanding its spatiotemporal dynamics and driving mechanisms is essential for sustaining fragile plateau ecosystems.

Peat swamp biodiversity in the Qizimei Mountain National Nature Reserve, China [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2021
The Qizimei Mountain National Nature Reserve (QMNNR) is located in a hotspot for endemic species in China’s subtropical zone and contains large patches of sub-alpine peat swamp. To compile a species inventory and illustrate the threats to biodiversity in

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 ...

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.

Evapotranspiration and biogeochemical regulation in a mountain peatland: insights from eddy covariance and ionic balance measurements

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2021
Study Region: The mountainous catchments in the Australian Alps are one of the highest water-yielding regions within a generally dry continent. Peatlands are critical water-regulating components of these catchments, and their response to a changing ...

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 ...
