Carbon Storage in Alpine Mires: A Case Study From Platzertal (Austria)

Mires and Peat
Alpine peatlands play a crucial role in mountain watershed functions and services while supporting high biodiversity. Their reliance on cool and humid conditions makes them particularly vulnerable to climate change, including rising temperatures and ...

Alpine peatland degradation enhances soil nitrogen losses and alters plant nitrogen uptake strategies: evidence from nitrogen isotopes

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background Nitrogen plays a critical role in sustaining ecosystem functions in peatlands; however, the degradation of approximately 12% of global peatlands substantially alters nitrogen cycling.

Mechanisms Behind the Soil Organic Carbon Response to Temperature Elevations

Agriculture
Soil organic carbon (SOC) represents the most dynamic component of the soil carbon pool and is pivotal in the global carbon cycle. Global temperature rise and increasing drought severity are now indisputable realities, making soil organic carbon cycling ...

Large spatial variability of GHG emissions from an alpine peatland detected by chamber based measurements.   

The study focuses on GHG fluxes analysis (CH4 and CO2) under climate change pressure at “Le Viote” alpine peatland (46.01 N, 11.04 E, 1560 m asl), located in the middle of a plateau in the Mt. Bondone area (eastern Alps, Italy).       Soil GHG fluxes were monitored from 12th May to 18th November 2025 using a LiCor Smart Chamber and a LiCor 7810 CH4/CO2/
