Effects of paludiculture products on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural peatlands [PDF]
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, 2021Peatlands 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
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

<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.

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.

Assessing nutrient responses and biomass quality for selection of appropriate paludiculture crops
Science of The Total Environment, 2019Tall 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 ...

Paludiculture in temperate fens to combat eutrophication, biodiversity loss, and climate change
2023Draining 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.
