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.

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

Peatland restoration pathways to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and retain peat carbon
Biogeochemistry, 2023 Peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon (C) cycle, making their restoration a key strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and retaining C. This study analyses the most common restoration pathways employed in boreal and temperate

Wetscapes: Restoring and maintaining peatland landscapes for sustainable futures
Ambio, 2023 Peatlands are among the world’s most carbon-dense ecosystems and hotspots of carbon storage. Although peatland drainage causes strong carbon emissions, land subsidence, fires and biodiversity loss, drainage-based agriculture and forestry on peatland is ...
