Paludiculture can support biodiversity conservation in rewetted fen peatlands [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Paludiculture, the productive use of wet or rewetted peatlands, offers an option for continued land use by farmers after rewetting formerly drained peatlands, while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from peat soils.

Progress of paludiculture projects in supporting peatland ecosystem restoration in Indonesia
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Sustainable peatland management practices such as paludiculture are crucial for restoring degraded peatland ecosystems. Paludiculture involves wet cultivation practices in peatland and can maintain peat bodies and sustaining ecosystem services.

Paludiculture in Latvia—Existing Knowledge and Challenges
Land, 2023 Global climate change impact has increased in recent decades and put urgency on implementing effective climate change mitigation (CCM) activities. Rewetting of drained peatlands is an acknowledged measure to reduce GHG emissions from organic soils in the

Choose Wisely: Great Variation among Genotypes of Promising Paludiculture Crop Phragmites australis [PDF]
Plants, 2023 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

Paludiculture as paludifuture on Dutch peatlands: An environmental and economic analysis of Typha cultivation and insulation production [PDF]
Science of the Total Environment, 2021 Paludiculture, the cultivation of crops on rewetted peatlands, is often proposed as a viable climate change mitigation option that reduces greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe), while simultaneously providing novel agricultural business options. In West Europe, experiments are ongoing in using the paludicrop cattail (Typha spp.) as feedstock for insulation ...

Typha for paludiculture—Suitable water table and nutrient conditions for potential biomass utilization explored in mesocosm gradient experiments [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Drainage has turned 650,000 km2 of peatlands worldwide into greenhouse gas sources. To counteract climate change, large‐scale rewetting is necessary while agricultural use of rewetted areas, termed paludiculture, is still possible.

Climate change mitigation potential of paludiculture in Finland: greenhouse gas emissions of abandoned organic croplands and peat substitution [PDF]
Carbon ManagementIntroduction Rewetting is an option to decrease greenhouse gas emissions of drained peatlands. With continued cultivation of wetland plants (paludiculture), it is possible to provide renewable raw materials.

Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Potential of Temperate Fen Paludicultures. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolABSTRACTPeatlands lose their valuable carbon (C) sink function under intensive land use and turn into greenhouse gas (GHG) emission hotspots. Despite scarce empirical evidence, paludiculture is expected to have significant GHG mitigation potential for organic soils.
