Restoration of Degraded Tropical Peatland in Indonesia: A Review

Land, 2021
Tropical peatlands are fragile ecosystems with an important role in conserving biodiversity, water quality and availability, preventing floods, soil intrusion, erosion and sedimentation, and providing a livelihood for people.

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.

Peatland-fire interactions: A review of wildland fire feedbacks and interactions in Canadian boreal peatlands.

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Boreal peatlands store a disproportionately large quantity of soil carbon (C) and play a critical role within the global C-climate system; however, with climatic warming, these C stores are at risk.

Variation in carbon and nitrogen concentrations among peatland categories at the global scale

PLoS ONE, 2022
Peatlands account for 15 to 30% of the world’s soil carbon (C) stock and are important controls over global nitrogen (N) cycles. However, C and N concentrations are known to vary among peatlands contributing to the uncertainty of global C inventories ...

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.

Mapping the restoration of degraded peatland as a research area: A scientometric review

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Degraded peatland has reduced many ecosystem services, such as water quality and quantity, biodiversity, carbon storage, climate regulations, and other cultural benefits.

Peatland protection and restoration are key for climate change mitigation

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Peatlands cover only about 3% the global land area, but store about twice as much carbon as global forest biomass. If intact peatlands are drained for agriculture or other human uses, peat oxidation can result in considerable CO2 emissions and other ...

Modelling long-term blanket peatland development in eastern Scotland [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2019
Blanket peatlands constitute a rare ecosystem on a global scale, but blanket peatland is the most important peatland type on the British Isles. Most long-term peatland development models have focussed on peat bogs and high-latitude regions.
