Understanding peatland restoration costs and contractor capacity [PDF]

open access: yes
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.

Water Storage Capacity Dynamics in Drained Boreal Peatlands: Responses to Rewetting and Climate Change

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
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.

Impact of Anthropogenic Activities and Climate Change on the Wetlands in the North‐West of Madagascar

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
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 ...

Local Perspectives on Agrosilvofishery in Peatlands: A Case Study of Perigi Village, South Sumatra, Indonesia

open access: yesLand
As the need for sustainable use peatlands increases, the aim of this study is to identify ways to increase the application of agrosilvofishery as an alternative to the traditional sonor system.

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 8, Page 1799-1817, October 2026.
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.

Hydrologic, Plant and Soil Controls on Microbial Biomass and Enzyme Activities in a Natural and a Restored Freshwater Marsh of Eastern Ontario, Canada

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 10, October 2026.
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

Prospects for climate friendly peatland management – Results of a socioeconomic case study in Germany [PDF]

open access: yes
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.

Remote sensing of peatland degradation in temperate and boreal climate zones – A review of the potentials, gaps, and challenges

open access: yesEcological Indicators
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 ...

Linking biosurface reactivity and photosynthesis to investigate Sphagnum mosses as ecosystem engineers

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 69-86, October 2026.
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.
