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

Paludiculture in Latvia—Existing Knowledge and Challenges
Land, 2023 Global climate change impact has increased in recent decades and put urgency on implementing effective climate change mitigation (CCM) activities. Rewetting of drained peatlands is an acknowledged measure to reduce GHG emissions from organic soils in the

Reintroduction of salt marsh vegetation and phosphorus fertilisation improve plant colonisation on seawater-contaminated cutover bogs [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2016 Coastal bogs that are used for peat extraction are prone to contamination by seawater during storm events. Once contaminated, they remain mostly bare because of the combination of high salinity, low pH, high water table and low nutrient availability. The

Assessment of topsoil removal as an effective method for vegetation restoration in farmed peatlands
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Peatland areas have dramatically declined in the past century because of the demand for agriculture. Therefore, it is necessary to develop suitable techniques to preserve these unique ecosystems.

Topographic and climatic controls of peatland distribution on the Tibetan Plateau
Scientific Reports, 2023 The Tibetan Plateau (TP) hosts a variety of mountain peatlands that are sensitive to the amplified warming in this region. However, we still lack a basic understanding of environmental and climatic factors controlling peatland distribution in the region.

Peatland fire regime across Riau peat hydrological unit, Indonesia
Forest and Society, 2023 Peatland stretches across approximately 8% of Indonesia’s land area. Peat fire disturbance, which affects the carbon dynamics of the ecosystem, will determine the country's vision for a long-term strategy for low carbon development.
