Towards more sustainable hydrological management and land use of drained coastal peatlands - A biogeochemical balancing act [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2020 Worldwide, drainage-based water management is applied to facilitate agricultural use of coastal peatland areas, leading to large-scale peat oxidation and land subsidence.

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 -

Total biomass and annual yield of Drosera on cultivated Sphagnum in north-west Germany [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2022 Sphagnum paludiculture farms, where Drosera species grow spontaneously under semi-natural conditions, may provide fresh Drosera raw material for the pharmaceutical industry as a sustainable alternative to collecting Drosera from natural peatlands.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.Re‐wetting drained peat for Typha paludiculture provides a productive, low‐emission land use that can support diverse bird communities. Across 28 sites in the Netherlands, breeding bird abundance in paludiculture was comparable to that in natural wetlands and more than three times higher than in improved grasslands.

Species-dependent methane emissions in a Dutch peatland during paludiculture establishment [PDF]
Paludiculture (crop cultivation on wet peatlands) is an effective means to reduce carbon emissions and nutrient losses from formerly drained peatlands. However, methane (CH4) emissions and associated pathways may vary substantially between paludicultures,

Annual CO2 fluxes from a cultivated fen with perennial grasses during two initial years of rewetting [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2019 Rewetting combined with biomass crop cultivation (paludiculture) has been proposed as a method for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from drained peatlands.

Towards sustainable management of Indonesian tropical peatlands [PDF]
, 2017 Large areas of Indonesian peatlands have been converted for agricultural and plantation forest purposes. This requires draining with associated CO2 emissions and fire risks.

Towards net zero CO2 in 2050: an emission reduction pathway for organic soils in Germany [PDF]
, 2021 The Paris Agreement reflects the global endeavour to limit the increase of global average temperature to 2 °C, better 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels to prevent dangerous climate change. This requires that global anthropogenic net carbon dioxide (CO2)

DESIGNING THE SPECIAL PILOT ECONOMIC ZONE: AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO REVITALIZE LIVELIHOODS ON PEATLANDS [PDF]
, 2020 Peatland restoration projects in tropical countries could prevent environmental disasters such as peat fires. In Indonesia, one of peatland restoration activities is the revitalization of the livelihoods of communities around peatlands.
