The effects of alkalinity and cations on the vitality of Sphagnum palustre L. [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2019
Sphagnum mosses are poikilohydric bryophytes, i.e. dependent on nearly-constant wet conditions. Exposure to mineral-enriched water has long been recognised as a threat to Sphagnum mosses and a driver of niche formation.

The “Magic” of Conflict: How Participatory Governance Can Enable Transformative Climate Adaptation

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 594-610, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In many cases, addressing climate risks requires transformative climate adaptation (TCA) that goes beyond small adjustments to existing systems. While scholars increasingly argue that participatory governance is key and should embrace conflict rather than push for consensus to enable TCA, this assumption remains underexplored.

Sphagnum farming from species selection to the production of growing media: a review [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2018
Sphagnum farming - the production of Sphagnum biomass on rewetted bogs - helps towards achieving global climate goals by halting greenhouse gas emissions from drained peat and by replacing peat with a renewable biomass alternative.

Salted Peat: The Forgotten Casualty of Rising Sea Level in Freshwater Coastal Tropical Peatlands

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
This paper invites reflection on the largely overlooked risk that rising sea levels may salinize coastal tropical peatlands, potentially destabilizing vegetation, carbon cycling, and livelihoods. By synthesizing emerging evidence, it highlights a critical blind spot in climate models and adaptation frameworks that warrant urgent scientific and policy ...

Exploring the Role of Strategic Place‐Based Risk Assessment as a Framework to Support System‐Based Climate Adaptation Planning

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Climate change adaptation requires more place‐based evidence to understand the context of historic, present and future vulnerability and how this translates to local patterns of risk. This study illustrates a globally relevant framework focused on multiple and often interconnected climate risks in a major coastal lowland, the Fens region, UK ...

Defining and identifying relevant stakeholders to advance effective conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
The challenge of defining stakeholders in environmental science and an approach for refining existing definitions. Abstract Stakeholder is a contested term that has spawned a multitude of ad hoc definitions. The ambiguity of these definitions has oftentimes impeded transdisciplinary research in environmental governance and conservation science because ...

Sinking peatlands: Optimal control of subsidence

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, Volume 108, Issue 3, Page 926-953, May 2026.
Abstract Land subsidence threatens the living conditions of about 1.2 billion people worldwide in deltaic regions characterized by soft top soil. Economic activity in these areas requires lowering groundwater levels to keep the land sufficiently dry, which leaves future generations worse off by accelerating subsidence and increasing future costs.
