Substantial Mitigation Potential for Greenhouse Gases Under High Water Levels in a Cultivated Peatland in the Arctic. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolElevating 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.

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.

Paludiculture Potential on Fen Peatland: A Soil-Based Case Study from Central Poland
Paludiculture is crucial for peatland preservation as it maintains high water levels, preventing peat decomposition and reducing carbon emissions. This study evaluates the viability of paludiculture management on a fen peatland in the temperate climatic ...

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

Paludiculture crops and nitrogen kick-start ecosystem service provisioning in rewetted peat soils [PDF]
, 2022 Purpose: Paludiculture (crop cultivation in wet peatlands) can prevent carbon and nutrient losses while enabling biomass production. As vegetation in rewetted peatlands is often nitrogen (N) limited, input of N-rich water may promote biomass production ...

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 ...

Peatlands Are More Beneficial if Conserved and Restored than Drained for Monoculture Crops
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Peatlands are especially important but fragile tropical landscapes. The importance of peatlands is owing to their ability to 1) sequester a considerable amount of terrestrial carbon, 2) store freshwater, and 3) regulate floods during the rainy season ...

The performance of paludiculture commodities at different peat depths in Central Kalimantan
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract Paludiculture is one of the alternative efforts to restore degraded peatland. It involves rewetting, revegetation and revitalization of local livelihood. This research evaluated three paludiculture demonstration plots at Central Kalimantan, one in the shallow peat of Pilang village and two plots in the deep peat of Tumbang Nusa ...

Sphagnum moss as a growing media constituent: some effects of harvesting, processing and storage [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2017 The Sphagnum material used in horticulture so far has been harvested manually, and most of the available data about Sphagnum properties have been obtained from this material.
