The Impact of Biochar Addition on the Water Quality of a Lowland Peat Ecosystem
Biochar is a refractory material in the environment, as such has been proposed in this study as a method to enhance carbon storage in peatlands. This study is the first to assess the effect of biochar on water quality and found no evidence of detrimental impact of biochar addition on water quality in and from these peat soils. Therefore, changing water

New responsibilities of agriculture: structural differences in stakeholder networks and intentions towards climate change abatement strategies in peatland [PDF]
Agriculture is required to fulfil the needs and wants of society in a variety of fields: food supply, environmental services, landscape preservation and finally: climate mitigation.

Reduced phosphorus loss in a pump‐drained wetland after harvesting and rewetting
Abstract The rewetting of low‐lying organic soils previously used for agriculture can mobilize legacy phosphorus (P), increasing the risk of eutrophication in downstream water bodies. One potential mitigation strategy is biomass harvesting, which may remove mobile P fractions from the soil.

Agricultural Costs of Carbon Dioxide Abatement via Land-use Adaptation on organic soils [PDF]
Increasing carbon dioxide emissions and related climate effects require mitigation strategies, thereby also emissions caused by agriculture are brought into the focus of political debate.

ECOSSE: Estimating Carbon in Organic Soils - Sequestration and Emissions: Final Report [PDF]
Background Climate change, caused by greenhouse gas ( GHG) emissions, is one of the most serious threats facing our planet, and is of concern at both UK and devolved administration levels.

Abstract Grasslands support the majority of global livestock production systems while providing vital ecosystem services. Expansion of the livestock sector over recent decades has however placed enormous pressure on grasslands, with increasing greenhouse gas emissions that challenge the aspirations of climate mitigation.

The impact of nature conservation on agricultural greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions – an economic assessment of selected German study regions [PDF]
Using a significant amount of public funding, large-scale nature-conservation projects in Germany aim to secure and develop ecologically valuable areas and endangered habitats and species.

Resurvey studies in mountain forests of the Tatra Mountains (Central Europe) show that plant diversity has increased over the past century, particularly at lower elevations. These shifts were associated more with increased nitrogen deposition and reduced grazing pressure than with direct climate warming.

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 ...
