A Potential Approach for Enhancing Carbon Sequestration During Peatland Restoration Using Low-Cost, Phenolic-Rich Biomass Supplements

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
The addition of phenolic compounds to peatland soils has been proposed as a means of enhancing the suppression of enzymes, reducing the rate of organic matter decomposition and increasing below-ground carbon sequestration.

Macroinvertebrate assemblages and biodiversity levels: ecological role of constructed wetlands and artificial ponds in a natural park

Journal of Limnology, 2014
Constructed wetlands play an important role in water supply, floodwater retention and nutrient removal, at the same time allowing the restoration of lost habitat and the preservation of biodiversity.

Borrowing from the palaeolimnologists toolkit; the use of lake sediment cores in diagnosing the causes of freshwater species decline

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2023
Populations of freshwater species are experiencing dramatic declines globally. Tools that facilitate the diagnosis of decline and identify management solutions and/or restoration targets are thus vital.

Constructed wetlands and nature conservation

Water Science and Technology, 1997
By reference to examples in the UK this paper examines the wildlife potential of reedbed treatment systems, both in their ability to act as pollutant buffers to protect or create downstream wetlands of conservation importance and as wildlife resources in their own right.
