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.

Impacts of paludiculture on the natural environment: a scoping report
A report to Natural England, outlining impacts of paludiculture (productive use of wet peatlands) on soils, hydrology, water quality, biodiversity, and landscape character and heritage. Also includes: management options to minimise negative impacts and maximise positive ones; open research questions and knowledge gaps; and a SWOT analysis related to ...Taylor, Nigel, Stockdale, Elizabeth

Paludiculture: multifunctional land-use to decrease nutrient loading
To counteract soil subsidence and greenhouse gas emissions, groundwater levels in agriculturally used peatlands are increased in summer (e.g. by subsurface irrigation). This rewetting could lead to increased nutrient mobilization under anaerobic conditions in nutrient-rich soils, which will lead to eutrophication in ditches and lakes. However, rewettedJeroen Geurts +3 more

Woody paludiculture as an after-use option for peat extraction fields
As peat extraction for energy has declined in Europe, extensive areas released from peat production require sustainable after-use. This land use change provides opportunities to mitigate climate change, halt biodiversity loss and support socially fair and rewarding solutions for communities.Tuula Larmola +8 more

Effects of topsoil removal on greenhouse gas exchange of fen paludicultures
Current agricultural practices on peatlands require drainage, leading to substantial emissions of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Paludiculture is an option to mitigate these adverse environmental impacts while maintaining productive land use. Whereas the GHG exchange of paludiculture on rewetted bog peat, i.e.,Philipp Köwitsch +3 more

PaludiCentral: Building a network of large-scale paludiculture demonstration and research sites
Although drained peatland and other carbon-rich soils represent only 5% of the land surface in Germany, they contribute to 6.9% of total national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Transitioning from drainage-based to wet peatland management offers substantial benefits, including reduced GHG emissions, prevention of further peat degradation, improved ...Jannes Säurich +3 more
