Choose Wisely: Great Variation among Genotypes of Promising Paludiculture Crop Phragmites australis
Measures mitigating the climate crisis, such as paludiculture, which is the agriculture on rewetted peatlands, are urgently needed. The cosmopolitan species Phragmites australis has the potential to be used in paludiculture worldwide but is known for its

Sphagnum farming from species selection to the production of growing media: a review [PDF]
Sphagnum farming - the production of Sphagnum biomass on rewetted bogs - helps towards achieving global climate goals by halting greenhouse gas emissions from drained peat and by replacing peat with a renewable biomass alternative.

Biomass prediction of Typha latifolia on a paludiculture site by combining structural and spectral features from UAS data [PDF]
Drained peatlands need to be rewetted to reduce carbon emissions. To realise this, sustainable land-use alternatives must be implemented after rewetting.

Does the autecology of core species reflect the synecology of functional groups during the assembly of vegetation in abandoned extracted peatlands? [PDF]
The combined autecology of individual species is expected to reflect the synecology of their respective functional groups and vice versa, but this assumption has been rarely assessed.

Geological settings of the protected Selisoo mire (northeastern Estonia) threatened by oil shale mining [PDF]
The protected Selisoo mire in northeastern Estonia is located above valuable oil shale resources, partly in the permitted mining area. We describe in detail the geomorphology and geological setting of the mire to understand the natural preconditions for ...
