Typha‐based paludiculture offers potential for greater bird species abundance and diversity than drained agricultural grassland [PDF]
Ecological Solutions and EvidenceAgriculture on drained lowland peat, though very productive, contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. One potential solution is to implement paludiculture: an agricultural system of cropping with raised water tables.

Paludiculture in the UK: A Paradigm Shift in Agricultural Practice and Farmers’ Perceptions [PDF]
Mires and PeatShifting from drainage-based agriculture to paludiculture - that is, farming on rewetted peatlands - is one of the biggest opportunities for carbon farming and achieving net zero.

Paludiculture - a scoping review of the agricultural, economic and social science literature
Frontiers in Environmental ScienceIntroductionPaludiculture has emerged as a science-initiated land use concept for wet peatlands more than 25 years ago. While research accumulates especially for natural science topics, a recent synthesis for agricultural, economic and social science ...

Paludiculture maintains peat formation potential in rewetted temperate fens
Agronomy for Sustainable DevelopmentDrainage for agriculture has transformed temperate fen peatlands from carbon sinks into major carbon sources. Rewetting can halt this degradation, and the productive use of rewetted peatlands through paludiculture offers a promising sustainable land use strategy. However, historical drainage increases nutrient availability, which often remains elevated

LandVoluntary carbon markets open horizons for private companies, public institutions, and individuals developing CO2 removal projects in peatlands to reduce overall carbon footprint. These steps, however, should be in line with appropriate rewetting targets.

Ratio vegetation indices have the potential to predict extractable protein yields in green protein paludiculture [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2023 Paludiculture can be a tool to incentivise rewetting of agricultural peatlands with the option for biomass utilisation in green protein biorefineries. However, the economic feasibility for green protein paludiculture depends on product maximisation. This

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

Towards Large-Scale Paludiculture: Addressing the Challenges of Biomass Harvesting in Wet and Rewetted Peatlands [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2015 Peatland drainage causes peat degradation, which results in high greenhouse gas emissions and ongoing subsidence of the ground surface. To avoid further land degradation, the rewetting of peatlands is essential. The new land use concept of paludiculture -
