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.

Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Potential of Temperate Fen Paludicultures. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
ABSTRACTPeatlands 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.

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.

Wetland Plants and Aboriginal Paludiculture in North- and South-Eastern Australia [PDF]

Plant Perspectives
Aboriginal peoples in north- and south-eastern Australia practiced paludiculture, the cultivation of wetland plants for consumption, for many thousands of years before Europeans invaded them in the 1830s and 1840s.

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 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

Wet peatland utilisation for climate protection – An international survey of paludiculture innovation

Cleaner Engineering and Technology, 2021
Drainage-base agriculture and forestry are key drivers of emissions from degraded peatlands. An important challenge of climate-oriented peatland management is an improved conservation of their huge carbon stocks.

Fostering Peat Moss Feedbacks to Accelerate Peatland Restoration. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Alternative stable states and peat moss and vascular plant feedbacks in peatlands. Selected feedbacks in a peat moss‐dominated state or a vascular plant‐dominated state. The two insets show ecosystem states (dot) in resilience landscapes (bottom).

Wetscapes: Restoring and maintaining peatland landscapes for sustainable futures. [PDF]

Ambio, 2023
Peatlands are among the world's most carbon-dense ecosystems and hotspots of carbon storage. Although peatland drainage causes strong carbon emissions, land subsidence, fires and biodiversity loss, drainage-based agriculture and forestry on peatland is ...

A multi-adaptive framework for the crop choice in paludicultural cropping systems [PDF]

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2016
The conventional cultivation of drained peatland causes peat oxidation, soil subsidence, nutrient loss, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity reduction.
