Biomethane Yield from Different European Phragmites australis Genotypes, Compared with Other Herbaceous Wetland Species Grown at Different Fertilization Regimes [PDF]

Resources, 2020
Phragmites australis, Typha latifolia, T. angustifolia and Arundo donax are tall wetland graminoids with the potential to replace fossil fuels under sustainable cultivation conditions. We investigated the biomethane (CH4) production of these four species,

Digital transformation of peatland eco-innovations (‘Paludiculture’): Enabling a paradigm shift towards the real-time sustainable production of ‘green-friendly’ products and services [PDF]

, 2022
The world is heading in the wrong direction on carbon emissions where we are not on track to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C; Ireland is among the countries where overall emissions have continued to rise.

Unlocking the potential of peatlands and paludiculture to achieve Germany’s climate targets: obstacles and major fields of action [PDF]

Frontiers in Climate
Greenhouse gas emissions from drained peatlands must be substantially reduced to meet climate mitigation targets. In Germany, annual peatland emissions of 53 Mt CO2e account for more than 7% of total national GHG emissions.

Wetscapes: Restoring and maintaining peatland landscapes for sustainable futures. [PDF]

Ambio, 2023
Peatlands are among the world's most carbon-dense ecosystems and hotspots of carbon storage. Although peatland drainage causes strong carbon emissions, land subsidence, fires and biodiversity loss, drainage-based agriculture and forestry on peatland is ...

Drained Agricultural Peatlands as Persistent Carbon Sources: Implications for Carbon and Water Use Intensity in Food Production. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Peatlands have the capacity to sequester large quantities of carbon and can therefore play an important role in climate change mitigation. However, anthropogenic activities alter their hydrological regimes, converting them from net CO2 sinks into net sources.

Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Potential of Temperate Fen Paludicultures. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Peatlands lose their valuable carbon sink function under intensive land use and turn into greenhouse gas (GHG) emission hotspots. This study presents the first full GHG balance dataset for five potential fen paludicultures, measuring CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide emissions using manual and novel automated chambers across a water table gradient in ...

Wetland Plants and Aboriginal Paludiculture in North- and South-Eastern Australia [PDF]

Plant Perspectives
Aboriginal peoples in north- and south-eastern Australia practiced paludiculture, the cultivation of wetland plants for consumption, for many thousands of years before Europeans invaded them in the 1830s and 1840s.

Substantial Mitigation Potential for Greenhouse Gases Under High Water Levels in a Cultivated Peatland in the Arctic. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Elevating the water table in Arctic cultivated peatlands can substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and even turn these systems into net GHG sinks. Fertilization enhanced biomass production but did not significantly affect CO2 or CH4 emissions, while biomass harvesting led to net carbon loss.

Responsible agriculture must adapt to the wetland character of mid-latitude peatlands. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol, 2022
Drained, lowland agricultural peatlands are greenhouse gas (GHG) emission hotspots and a large but vulnerable store of irrecoverable carbon. They exhibit soil loss rates of ~2.0 cm yr−1 and are estimated to account for 32% of global cropland emissions ...

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.
