The effect of drainage ditches on vegetation diversity and CO2 fluxes in a Molinia caerulea dominated peatland [PDF]
AcceptedArticleCopyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Peatlands are recognized as important carbon stores; despite this, many have been drained for agricultural improvement. Drainage has been shown to lower water tables and alter vegetation composition,

Abstract Introduction Climate mitigation by peatland restoration is suggested, but data from restored forestry‐drained peatlands (FDP) is sparse. Studies using surrogate emission factors from pristine peatlands have indicated a long‐lasting warming effect of restoration of nutrient‐poor FDPs, while restoration‐specific studies are missing.

Prompt active restoration of peatlands substantially reduces climate impact
Restoration of peatlands after peat extraction could be a benefit to the climate system. However a multi-year ecosystem-scale assessment of net carbon (C) sequestration is needed.
