The Distribution of Peatland in Europe [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2006 This paper derives the distribution of peatland in Europe as the extent of peat and peat-topped soils indicated by soil databases. The data sources were the 1:1,000,000 European Soil Database (v1.0) and a data set of organic carbon content (%) for the topsoils of Europe at 1km x 1km resolution that was recently published in map ...

Iron-Mediated Release of Aged Dissolved Organic Carbon From Waterlogged Peatland Under Warming. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)This study conducts a five‐year in situ warming experiment in high‐altitude peatlands to examine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release. The study shows that warming promotes the release of plant‐derived modern DOC in drained peatlands, but amplifies aquatic export of century‐old DOC from waterlogged peatlands via Fe‐mediated DOC mobilization—a ...

The impact of climate change on plant diversity in peatlands in Sichuan province, China [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionThere are extensive peatland habitats in Sichuan Province, a crucial ecological barrier in southwest China. However, climate change has caused widespread degradation of peatland habitats, creating significant survival challenges for many ...

Water Table and Vegetation Shape Peatland CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> Fluxes With Water Table Modulating Temperature Sensitivity. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolUsing 14,643 chamber observations from 285 peatland sites, we found that wetter conditions were associated with higher CH4 emissions but lower ecosystem respiration and combined CO2‐equivalent emissions. Apparent CH4 temperature sensitivity also increased with water‐table level, suggesting that fixed Q10 values may misrepresent warming responses ...

Archaeological geophysical prospection in peatland environments. [PDF]
Waterlogged sites in peat often preserve organic material, both in the form of artefacts and pa1aeoenvironmenta1 evidence as a result of the prevailing anaerobic environment. After three decades of excavation and large scale study projects in the UK, 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.

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.

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.
