Typha‐based paludiculture offers potential for greater bird species abundance and diversity than drained agricultural grassland

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Agriculture 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.

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.

Perceptions of farmers regarding peatland restoration model of paludiculture in South Sumatra, Indonesia [PDF]

Heritage and Sustainable Development
Peatland fires are a common problem requiring urgent and comprehensive action. Therefore, this research aimed to examine perceptions of farmers regarding paludiculture model in peatland restoration efforts.

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 ...

Paludiculture as paludifuture on Dutch peatlands: An environmental and economic analysis of Typha cultivation and insulation production

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Paludiculture, the cultivation of crops on rewetted peatlands, is often proposed as a viable climate change mitigation option that reduces greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe), while simultaneously providing novel agricultural business options. In West Europe, experiments are ongoing in using the paludicrop cattail (Typha spp.) as feedstock for insulation ...

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.

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.

Climate change mitigation potential of paludiculture in Finland: greenhouse gas emissions of abandoned organic croplands and peat substitution

Carbon Management
Introduction Rewetting is an option to decrease greenhouse gas emissions of drained peatlands. With continued cultivation of wetland plants (paludiculture), it is possible to provide renewable raw materials.

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

Ecological 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.
