Feasible Carbon Sequestration Potential in European Agricultural Mineral Soils Through Improved Management

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil degradation threatens global agriculture by compromising soil health, while sustainable agricultural management enhances soil functionality and carbon (C) storage, thereby contributing to climate change mitigation. This study estimates the feasible C sequestration potential of ten agricultural management practices across Europe, by ...

Pros and Cons of Strategies to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Peatlands: Review of Possibilities

Applied Sciences
Peatlands can become valuable resources and greenhouse gas sinks through the use of different management practices. Peatlands provide carbon sequestration; however, they are also among the greatest greenhouse gas emissions sources.

Bird diversity can benefit from rewetted peatlands with solar parks compared to drained grassland use—A case study from northern Germany

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Photovoltaics on rewetted peatlands has been proposed as a way to generate renewable energy while curbing greenhouse gas emissions through peatland rewetting. We used audio recorders, the BirdNet algorithm, and species‐specific thresholds to compile a dataset on bird activity throughout one season at one study site in northern Germany.

Phenolic supplements: testing an approach to limit Sphagnum decomposition in a Sphagnum farming system

Frontiers in Earth Science
Phenolic compounds have been proposed to influence decomposition by inhibiting extracellular enzyme activities, as described in the enzymic latch mechanism (ELM).

Effect of repeated mowing to reduce graminoid plant cover on the moss carpet at a Sphagnum farm in North America [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2017
Sphagnum farming is defined as the sustainable production of non-decomposed Sphagnum biomass on a cyclical and renewable basis. In this article, the influence and necessity of mowing graminoid plants to optimise Sphagnum growth in Sphagnum farming basins

Birch Transpiration Is Not the Main Reason for Insufficient Water Levels in a Rewetted Bog

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 3, April/May 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural bogs have high water level (WL) that prevents peat decomposition and promotes bog‐specific vegetation. Especially in rewetted bogs, increasing tree encroachment is observed in combination with low WL. Simultaneously, a general shift in vegetation and microform distribution is visible.
