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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Typha‐based paludiculture offers potential for greater bird species abundance and diversity than drained agricultural grassland

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Agriculture on drained lowland peat, though very productive, contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One potential solution is to implement paludiculture: an agricultural system of cropping with raised water tables.
