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.

The role of hydrological transience in peatland pattern formation [PDF]

, 2013
The sloping flanks of peatlands are commonly patterned with non-random, contour-parallel stripes of distinct microhabitats such as hummocks, lawns and hollows.

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

The distribution and amount of carbon in the largest peatland complex in Amazonia [PDF]

, 2014
This work was funded by NERC grants NE/I021217/1 and NE/J50001X/1.Peatlands in Amazonian Peru are known to store large quantities of carbon, but there is high uncertainty in the spatial extent and total carbon stocks of these ecosystems.

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

Bomb-14C analysis of ecosystem respiration reveals that peatland vegetation facilitates release of old carbon [PDF]

, 2009
The largest terrestrial-to-atmosphere carbon flux is respired CO2. However, the partitioning of soil and plant sources, understanding of contributory mechanisms, and their response to climate change are uncertain.

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.

Restoration of blanket peatlands [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Management, 2014
There is concern that ecosystem services provided by blanket peatlands have come under threat due to increasing degradation. Blanket peatlands are subject to a wide range of drivers of degradation and are topographically variable. As a result, many degradation forms can develop, including those resulting from eroding artificial drainage, incising ...

Climate and Peatlands

, 2010
Peatlands are an important natural archive for past climatic changes, primarily due to their sensitivity to changes in the water balance and the dating possibilities of peat sediments. In addition, peatlands are an important sink as well as potential source of greenhouse gases.
