Methanogenic archaea in peatlands [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2020 ABSTRACT Methane emission feedbacks in wetlands are predicted to influence global climate under climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. Herein, we review the taxonomy and physiological ecology of the microorganisms responsible for methane production in peatlands.

Identification of typical ecohydrological behaviours using InSAR allows landscape-scale mapping of peatland condition [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2022 Better tools for rapid and reliable assessment of global peatland extent and condition are urgently needed to support action to prevent further decline of peatlands.

Significant underestimation of peatland permafrost along the Labrador Sea coastline in northern Canada [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Northern peatlands cover approximately four million km2, and about half of these peatlands are estimated to contain permafrost and periglacial landforms, like palsas and peat plateaus.

The distribution and naturalness of peatland on Terceira Island (Azores): instruments to define priority areas for conservation and restoration [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2019 The study reported here used spatial analysis to assess the effectiveness of the legal nature protection framework in supporting the conservation of peatlands on Terceira Island (Azores archipelago, Portugal) and identify potential improvements. Terceira

Roots, Tissues, Cells and Fragments—How to Characterize Peat from Drained and Rewetted Fens
Soil Systems, 2020 We present analyses of macroscopic and microscopic remains as a tool to characterise sedge fen peats. We use it to describe peat composition and stages of peat decomposition, to assess the success of rewetting of a formerly drained fen, and to understand

Quantifying groundwater fluxes from an aapa mire to a riverside esker formation
Hydrology Research, 2021 Water flows in peatland margins is an under-researched topic. This study examines recharge from a peatland to an esker aquifer in an aapa mire complex of northern Finland. Our objective was to study how the aapa mire margin is hydrogeologically connected

Using Annual Resolution Pollen Analysis to Synchronize Varve and Tree-Ring Records
Quaternary, 2019 Fossil wood and varved lake sediments allow proxy analysis with exceptionally high, (sub-)annual resolution. Both archives provide dating through ring and layer counting, yet with different accuracy.

Characterizing subsidence in used and restored peatland with Sentinel SAR data
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Peatland is a fragile ecosystem in the tropical region which is prone to subsidence. Until now, there is still lack of procedure to rapidly assess a tropical peatland subsidence in a large area.

Emerging forest–peatland bistability and resilience of European peatland carbon stores [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 Significance Peatlands are sensitive ecosystems that store carbon and water and support biodiversity. Currently, European peatlands are threatened by climate change and exploitation. In this study, we show that many landscape settings may support both wetland ecosystems on thick peat soils and forest ecosystems on thin organic soils.
