Climate and human impacts inferred from a 1500-year multi-proxy record of an alpine peatland in the South-Eastern Alps

Ecological Indicators, 2022
In the last decades, climate and human activities significantly affected ecosystems, particularly in mountain areas. Whereas the Alps have been extensively studied for palaeoclimatic reconstructions, little information is available about ecological ...

Dominant influence of non-thawing periods on annual CO2 emissions from Zoige peatlands: Five-year eddy covariance analysis

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Changes in freeze–thaw processes as a result of climate change significantly affect the carbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems, especially peatlands.

Subsidence in Qinghai—Tibet Plateau Peatlands Driven by Drainage Disturbance and Climatic Variability

Geosciences
Peatlands are globally important carbon sinks, yet these are increasingly threatened by climate change and human disturbances. Among degradation indicators, surface subsidence is gradual and challenging to monitor, particularly in alpine peatlands.

Carbon footprint of black peat from degraded peatland previously used for agriculture in Germany

, 2021
On a worldwide scale, drained peatlands contribute substantially to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Reducing GHG from drained peatland is the most space- and cost-effective climate change mitigation option within the land use and ...

Relation between methanogenic archaea and methane production potential in selected natural wetland ecosystems across China [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2011
Methane (CH₄) emissions from natural wetland ecosystems exhibit large spatial variability at regional, national, and global levels related to temperature, water table, plant type and methanogenic archaea etc.

Internal Permafrost Structure of Geomorphologically Distinct Palsas in Northern Sweden Revealed by Quasi‐3D ERT

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost in northern peatlands occurs within individual palsas or extensive peat plateaus and controls local carbon storage. These permafrost landforms are complex, and their internal structure remains poorly understood. We used quasi‐3D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements, supported by UAV‐LiDAR topography, frost probing ...

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Alpine Space Prospective Study. Sustainable territorial development in the Alpine Space: Towards long term transnational cooperation [PDF]

, 2005
This "Prospective Study" argues that a long term transnational cooperation will be able to pursue the sustainable territorial development in the Alpine Space only at the condition of a substantial improvement of the current experience.

A new approach for estimating northern peatland gross primary productivity using a satellite-sensor-derived chlorophyll index

, 2011
Carbon flux models that are largely driven by remotely sensed data can be used to estimate gross primary productivity (GPP) over large areas, but despite the importance of peatland ecosystems in the global carbon cycle, relatively little attention has ...

Maximising trait evenness promotes the recovery of plant species richness in managed grasslands

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.
Land‐use intensification threatens biodiversity, and restoring degraded ecosystems remains challenging due to the difficulty of identifying the rules governing community assembly and dynamics. Investigating the temporal dynamics of trait‐abundance distributions (TADs) along long‐term time series offers a promising approach to disentangle the influence ...
