Frontiers in ClimateGreenhouse 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.

Fostering Peat Moss Feedbacks to Accelerate Peatland Restoration. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolAlternative stable states and peat moss and vascular plant feedbacks in peatlands. Selected feedbacks in a peat moss‐dominated state or a vascular plant‐dominated state. The two insets show ecosystem states (dot) in resilience landscapes (bottom).

Land-Use Effects on Surface Water Quality in Temperate Lowland Peatlands. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolWe examined the effects of land use on UK lowland peat surface water chemistry, finding similar macronutrient stoichiometry at conservation‐managed and rewetted sites (indicative of nitrogen and phosphorus co‐limitation), suggesting that rewetting leads to a nutrient balance comparable to natural conditions.

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

Paludiculture: Peatland utilization for food security
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2022 Abstract Degraded tropical peatland in Indonesia has been restored since 2016 through 3R efforts including rewetting, revegetation, and revitalization of local livelihood. Many studies concluded that the involvement of the local community is the key to the success of peatland restoration.

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.

Saving soil carbon, greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity and the economy: paludiculture as sustainable land use option in German fen peatlands [PDF]
, 2022 Peatlands in the European Union are largely drained for agriculture and emit 25% of the total agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Drainage-based peatland use has also negative impacts on water quality, drinking water provision and biodiversity ...

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.
