The role of hydrological transience in peatland pattern formation [PDF]

, 2013
The sloping flanks of peatlands are commonly patterned with non-random, contour-parallel stripes of distinct microhabitats such as hummocks, lawns and hollows.

Snow depth time series retrieval by time-lapse photography: Finnish and Italian case studies [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2021
The capability of time-lapse photography to retrieve snow depth time series was tested. Historically, snow depth has been measured manually by rulers, with a temporal resolution of once per day, and it is a time-consuming activity.

Bomb-14C analysis of ecosystem respiration reveals that peatland vegetation facilitates release of old carbon [PDF]

, 2009
The largest terrestrial-to-atmosphere carbon flux is respired CO2. However, the partitioning of soil and plant sources, understanding of contributory mechanisms, and their response to climate change are uncertain.

Biogeochemical indicators of peatland degradation – a case study of a temperate bog in Northern Germany [PDF]

, 2015
Organic soils in peatlands store a great proportion of the global soil carbon pool and can lose carbon via the atmosphere due to degradation. In Germany, most of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from organic soils are attributed to sites managed as ...

Modelling peatlands as a complex adaptive systems [PDF]

, 2010
PhDA new conceptual approach to modelling peatlands, DigiBog, involves a Complex Adaptive Systems consideration of raised bogs. A new computer hydrological model is presented, tested, and its capabilities in simulating hydrological behaviour in a real ...

Qinghai–tibetan plateau peatland sustainable utilization under anthropogenic disturbances and climate change

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2017
Often referred to as the “Third Pole,” China's Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau developed large amounts of peatland owing to its unique alpine environment. As a renewable resource, peat helps to regulate the climate as well as performing other important functions.

Impact of natural gullies on groundwater hydrology in the Zoige peatland, China

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2019
Study region: The study area was in the upland peatland within the Zoige basin with elevations ranging between 3400 and 3800 m. It is located in the source area of Upper Yellow River that is developed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China.

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

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021
Peatlands store large amounts of carbon (C) and actively exchange greenhouse gases (GHGs) with the atmosphere, thus playing an important role in global C cycle and climate. Large uncertainty exists in estimating C and GHG budgets of the alpine peatlands on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), as direct measurements of carbon dioxide (CO

The distribution and amount of carbon in the largest peatland complex in Amazonia [PDF]

, 2014
This work was funded by NERC grants NE/I021217/1 and NE/J50001X/1.Peatlands in Amazonian Peru are known to store large quantities of carbon, but there is high uncertainty in the spatial extent and total carbon stocks of these ecosystems.
