Soil Carbon Markets in the Making: Power Relations and Matters of Concern in Offsetting and Insetting

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates emerging soil carbon markets and seeks to identify the groups of actors and power relations that constitute their structure and function. Voluntary soil carbon markets (VSCMs) are emerging globally as a key mechanism for generating carbon removals as part of climate mitigation efforts.

Hands-On Approach to Foster Paludiculture Implementation and Carbon Certification on Extracted Peatland in Latvia

Land
Voluntary carbon markets open horizons for private companies, public institutions, and individuals developing CO2 removal projects in peatlands to reduce overall carbon footprint. These steps, however, should be in line with appropriate rewetting targets.

Qinghai–tibetan plateau peatland sustainable utilization under anthropogenic disturbances and climate change

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2017
Often referred to as the “Third Pole,” China's Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau developed large amounts of peatland owing to its unique alpine environment. As a renewable resource, peat helps to regulate the climate as well as performing other important functions.

Nested Carbon Governance in Southeast Asia: Towards Just Nature‐Based Solutions?

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have gained prominence as an integrated approach to addressing climate change and biodiversity loss while supporting sustainable development. Yet, their implementation across Southeast Asia remains fragmented and often contested.

ICESat/GLAS Data as a Measurement Tool for Peatland Topography and Peat Swamp Forest Biomass in Kalimantan, Indonesia [PDF]

, 2011
Indonesian peatlands are one of the largest near-surface pools of terrestrial organic carbon. Persistent logging, drainage and recurrent fires lead to huge emission of carbon each year.

Characteristics of organic components in PM2.5 emitted from peatland fires on Sumatra in 2015: Significance of humic-like substances

Atmospheric Environment: X, 2021
We characterize fine particulate matter (PM2.5) emitted from Indonesian peatland fires using ground-based source-dominated samplings of PM2.5 near peatland fire sources at two Regencies in Riau, Sumatra, Indonesia (number of samples = 13). Organic carbon

Green water, wetlands, and atmospheric moisture recycling ‐ An emerging new paradigm for grassland science

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
The importance of green water in water resource management. Conceptual classification of terrestrial water components highlighting the central role of green water in land‐atmosphere interactions. This schematic distinguishes green water (soil moisture available for plant uptake and evapotranspiration) from blue water (surface water, groundwater, and ...

Towards spatial assessment of carbon sequestration in peatlands: spectroscopy based estimation of fractional cover of three plant functional types [PDF]

, 2008
Peatlands accumulated large carbon (C) stocks as peat in historical times. Currently however, many peatlands are on the verge of becoming sources with their C sequestration function becoming sensitive to environmental changes such as increases in ...
