Final report on project SP1210: Lowland peatland systems in England and Wales – evaluating greenhouse gas fluxes and carbon balances [PDF]

, 2016
Lowland peatlands represent one of the most carbon-rich ecosystems in the UK. As a result of widespread habitat modification and drainage to support agriculture and peat extraction, they have been converted from natural carbon sinks into major carbon ...

Comparative Effects of Cattail Paludiculture and Dairy Farming on Arthropod Diversity

, 2023
European environmental policies have recently recognized the potential of paludiculture for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector. However, current research on paludiculture mainly concentrates on emission balance and crop productivity without considering effects on biodiversity. To contribute towards filling this knowledge gap

Restoring organic soils under agriculture: cost-effective portfolios in the context of European climate and biodiversity policies

Environmental Research Letters
Drained organic soils in agricultural use in the European Union (EU) contribute approximately 80% of Cropland and Grassland greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions released to the atmosphere, which makes their restoration highly relevant for achieving climate ...

A Comprehensive Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Removal Options for Germany [PDF]

To reach their net‐zero targets, countries will have to compensate hard‐to‐abate CO$_2$ emissions through carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Yet, current assessments rarely include socio‐cultural or institutional aspects or fail to contextualize ...

The positive impact of paludicultures on the greenhouse gas balance of a former grassland on fen peat [PDF]

• We measured the greenhouse gas exchange of reed (Phragmites australis) as well as of narrowleaf and broadleaf cattail (Typha latifolia und T. angustifolia) grown as paludicultures at an experimental site in Lower Saxony.

Recycled Phosphorus from Biomass Ash: Fertilizer Performance Across Crops

Agronomy
Biomass ashes represent a promising secondary phosphorus (P) source, yet their agronomic performance depends on feedstock origin, processing, and crop-specific interactions.

From Drainage to Rewetting—Soil Transformations in European Agricultural Peatlands: A Review

Agronomy
European peatlands have been extensively drained for agriculture, resulting in substantial carbon losses and widespread soil degradation. Peatland restoration is therefore a global priority, with rewetting recognised as a key strategy for mitigating ...

Combustibility of biomass from wet fens in Belarus and its potential as a substitute for peat in fuel briquettes [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2014
Peatland drainage has caused enormous environmental problems at global scale; in particular, ongoing greenhouse gas emissions and soil degradation. In Belarus, which is rich in peatlands and a hotspot of emissions from drained peatlands, several thousand
