Biomethane Yield from Different European Phragmites australis Genotypes, Compared with Other Herbaceous Wetland Species Grown at Different Fertilization Regimes

Resources, 2020
Phragmites australis, Typha latifolia, T. angustifolia and Arundo donax are tall wetland graminoids with the potential to replace fossil fuels under sustainable cultivation conditions. We investigated the biomethane (CH4) production of these four species,

Genetic diversity of Dyera polyphylla (Miq.) Steenis populations used in tropical peatland restoration in Indonesia [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2018
Dyera polyphylla is a native tree species of peat swamp forests in Southeast Asia. Where it has been used in peatland restoration, the trees are of uncertain genetic origin. We analysed the genetic diversity of seven populations of D.

The water balance of a Sphagnum farming site in north-west Germany [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2018
Sphagnum farming provides a sustainable wet land use alternative for drained peatland agriculture. Since 2011 Sphagnum has been cultivated on formerly drained bog grassland at Hankhauser Moor in north-west Germany.

Strengthening human–nature connections in agricultural landscapes through the EU Nature Restoration Regulation

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Introduction With its 2024 Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR), the European Union (EU) aims to halt and reverse the degradation of European ecosystems by restoring 20% of its respective land and sea areas by 2030 and all ecosystems in need by 2050. By 2027, all member states will have to submit National Restoration Plans (NRPs).

WaterLANDS: A Database of Carbon Stocks, GHG Fluxes and Biodiversity Indicators in Restored European Wetlands

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Motivation Wetland restoration is expected to play an important role in helping Europe achieve its climate and biodiversity targets as stated in the European Green Deal. Restored wetlands sequester atmospheric carbon and provide habitat for a wide range of plant and animal species.

The potential role of cattail-reinforced clay plaster in sustainable building [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2014
Sustainable development is a key goal in town and country planning, as well as in the building industry. The main aims are to avoid inefficient land use, to improve the energy efficiency of buildings and, thus, to move towards meeting the challenges of ...

Peatland Surface Motion: Terminology, Measurement Approaches, Models and Insights From a Global Dataset

Ecohydrology, Volume 18, Issue 8, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The surface of peatlands is constantly in motion. While pristine mires are characterized by peat growth and reversible surface fluctuation, induced by water level fluctuations, drained peatlands show subsidence due to peat mineralization and physical compaction. Still, drained peatlands show smaller but marked short‐term surface fluctuation as

Cutaway Peatland Fertilisation With Wood Ash Leads to More Than a Tenfold Increase in Plant Biomass Accumulation

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 15, Page 5125-5137, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Afforestation is one of the widely used methods of reclamation in cutaway peatlands where spontaneous revegetation is not feasible, but fertilization or liming is usually required to encourage the development of vegetation cover. Wood ash application increases planted tree biomass, but the role of spontaneously incoming species in early‐stage ...

The economics of paludiculture: Costs & benefits of wet land use options for degraded peatlands_with a focus on Reed and Sphagnum moss [PDF]

, 2021
Drainage has commonly been a pre-requisite for the productive use of peatlands. The biased focus on agriculture, forestry and peat extraction has long ignored the destructive effects of drainage and the successive degradation of ecosystem functions of ...

Livelihood Alternatives in Restored Peatland Areas in South Sumatra Province, Indonesia

Land
Livelihood loss and lower income because of peatland mismanagement are crucial issues that must be resolved in peatland areas. Although many studies have assessed farmers’ livelihoods and income enhancement, progress in addressing these problems remains ...
