Towards ecosystem-based restoration of peatland biodiversity [PDF]
, 2017 Natural peatlands support rich biological diversity at the genetic, species, ecosystem and landscape levels. However, because the character of this diversity differs from that of other ecosystem types, the value of peatlands for biodiversity has often ...

Paludiculture: peatland utilization to support climate change adaptation
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2022 Abstract Tropical peatlands are one of the largest carbon-storing ecosystems in the world. Draining tropical peatland causes environmental damage including greenhouse gas emissions. Drained peat is highly susceptible to fires that increase carbon emissions into the air. Rewetting is one way to solve the problem because, to achieve a zero

Spatial potential for paludicultures to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas emissions: an analytic tool [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2019 Following the recent international agreements on climate action, there is an urgent need to reduce agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Wet cultivation of peatlands (paludiculture) can combine low GHG emissions with productive use of the land ...
