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.

Aquifer-Peatland Hydrological Connectivity and Controlling Factors in Boreal Peatlands
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The conditions in which groundwater inflow occurs in boreal peatlands and its contribution to peatland water balance are still poorly understood. The objectives of this research were to quantify the hydrological connectivity between a surficial aquifer ...

Massive peatland carbon banks vulnerable to rising temperatures
Nature Communications, 2020 Peatlands contain one-third of the world’s soil carbon (C). If destabilized, decomposition of this vast C bank could accelerate climate warming; however, the likelihood of this outcome remains unknown.

ROPES Reveals Past Land Cover and PPEs From Single Pollen Records
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 Quantitative reconstructions of past vegetation cover commonly require pollen productivity estimates (PPEs). PPEs are calibrated in extensive and rather cumbersome surface-sample studies, and are so far only available for selected regions.

Peatland warming strongly increases fine-root growth
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Peatlands store up to two-thirds of the world’s soil carbon, but this carbon may be released under warmer conditions, creating an important climate feedback. The belowground warming response of peatlands is particularly uncertain even though

Prompt rewetting of drained peatlands reduces climate warming despite methane emissions
Nature Communications, 2020 Peatlands are strategic areas for climate change mitigation because of their matchless carbon stocks. Drained peatlands release this carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2).

Peatlands Are More Beneficial if Conserved and Restored than Drained for Monoculture Crops
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Peatlands are especially important but fragile tropical landscapes. The importance of peatlands is owing to their ability to 1) sequester a considerable amount of terrestrial carbon, 2) store freshwater, and 3) regulate floods during the rainy season ...
