Effects of paludiculture products on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural peatlands [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Engineering, 2022
Drained peatlands are a large emission source and a shift to paludiculture (rewetting and cultivation of wettolerant plants) is emerging as a potential emission reduction measure.

Paludiculture as a sustainable land use alternative for tropical peatlands: A review

Science of The Total Environment, 2021
Peatlands cover approximately 4.2 million km2 of terrestrial land surface and store up to 700 Pg of terrestrial carbon. Preserving the carbon stocks in peatland is therefore crucial for climate change mitigation. Under natural conditions, peatland carbon storage is maintained by moist peat conditions, which decreases decomposition and encourages peat ...

Towards better use of Indonesian peatlands with paludiculture and low-drainage food crops

open access: yesWetlands Ecology and Management, 2020
The current drainage-based peatland management systems in Indonesia result in high fire risks, soil subsidence and CO2 emissions. This study aims to assess different alternatives of peatland crops in order to help prevent further degradation of peatlands

Putting Paludiculture into Practice – Experiences from field-scale Cattail paludiculture in NE Germany

2020
<p>Paludiculture is the productive use of wet peatlands. In contrast to drained peatlands, rewetted peatlands have water levels close to surface, which ensure regulating services similar to those in natural peatland ecosystems.

Typha latifolia paludiculture effectively improves water quality and reduces greenhouse gas emissions in rewetted peatlands [PDF]

open access: yesEcological Engineering, 2018
Paludiculture, the cultivation of crops on wet or rewetted agricultural peatlands, sustainably integrates productive land use with the provision of multiple ecosystem services.

Effects of topsoil removal on greenhouse gas exchange of fen paludicultures

2021
<p>Drainage is necessary for conventional agriculture on peatlands, but this practice causes high emissions of the greenhouse gases (GHG) carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Paludiculture is an option to mitigate these adverse environmental effects while maintaining productive land use.

Think rural! Think paludicultural!

2014
Geringe Bevolkerungsdichte und geringe Wertschopfung je Flache sind bekannte Probleme der vorwiegend peripheren landlichen Raume im Flachenland Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Doch Losungen konnen bisher ungesehen vor der Haustur liegen. Fur dezentrale Energiegewinnung und wirtschaftliche Alternative, Schaffung lokaler Arbeitsplatze sowie Klima- und ...

Assessing nutrient responses and biomass quality for selection of appropriate paludiculture crops

Science of The Total Environment, 2019
Tall wetland graminoids with rapid growth, high productivity and wide tolerance of biotic and abiotic stresses are potentially valuable bioenergy crops, especially when grown in rewetted peat soils for biomass (paludiculture). Using wetland plants as renewable bioenergy crops instead of fossil fuels has the ecological benefits of reducing greenhouse ...

The policy case for paludiculture and peatland restoration

Open Access Government
The policy case for paludiculture and peatland restoration Dr Doug McMillan from Green Restoration Ireland Co-operative Society Ltd discusses the case for paludiculture and peatland restoration, emphasising its productivity, climate-positive benefits, and rich biodiversity. Across Europe, the Americas and beyond,

Paludiculture in temperate fens to combat eutrophication, biodiversity loss, and climate change

2023
Draining temperate fen peatlands created multiple problems such as greenhouse gas emissions, eutrophication and subsidence due to peat mineralization, but also loss of highly specialized biodiversity. Based on recent own publications and (not yet published) studies, we here explore the potential of paludiculture, i.e.
