Understanding peatland restoration costs and contractor capacity [PDF]
Degraded peatlands are one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Scotland. This research explored the evidence for peatland restoration costs in Scotland and examined emerging trends.

Abstract Historical peatland drainage resulted in surface subsidence and reduced water storage capacity (WSC), a process that can be exacerbated by climate change. We assessed the effects of rewetting on WSC using mesocosm experiments in climate chambers, field measurements, and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) analysis.

ABSTRACT Macrophytes are vulnerable to various factors in their natural ecosystems, including climatic, ecological, and anthropogenic changes. This study aims to document how these factors influence floristic composition. Four sites were investigated in the Boeny Region of northwest Madagascar: Ambatoboeny, Marovoay, Ankarafantsika National Park, and ...

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero
ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

ABSTRACT The hydrology and drainage history of freshwater marshes influence their soil properties and plant communities, which in turn affect microbial biomass and extracellular enzyme activities that regulate the biogeochemistry and functioning of the marsh. However, field reports examining the spatial differences and controls of microbial biomass and

Understanding barriers to peatland restoration and possible pathways
We summarize research aimed at improving our understanding of perceptions regarding peatland management, barriers to peatland restoration, and options for addressing the barriers.

Prospects for climate friendly peatland management – Results of a socioeconomic case study in Germany [PDF]
In the current debate on climate protection, agricultural production has become a focal point of interest. This study introduces the climate effectiveness of agricultural management of peat-soils.

Peatland degradation causes a number of environmental problems ranging from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to subsidence and ecosystem loss. Degraded peatlands, covering just 0.3 % of Earth’s land area (500,000 km2), disproportionately contribute 5 % of ...

Habit photographs of field‐collected and in vitro‐cultivated (c) Sphagnum spp. used for experiments. Summary Sphagnum mosses regulate peatland carbon storage, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and ecosystem functioning. However, the links among their surface chemistry, photosynthesis, responses to submersion and pH remain poorly understood.
