Peatland resilience and presence under national climate gradients: Implications for peatland restoration strategies

Science of The Total Environment
Irish peatlands, while generally resilient, are significantly threatened by anthropogenic activities and climate change. Here we implement a mechanistic model to evaluate the impact of climate gradients on Irish Peatland Resilience at a national scale.

Controls on ecosystem respiration of carbon dioxide across a boreal wetland gradient in Interior Alaska [PDF]

, 2012
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2012Permafrost and organic soil layers are common to most wetlands in interior Alaska, where wetlands have functioned as important long-term soil carbon sinks.

Fostering Peat Moss Feedbacks to Accelerate Peatland Restoration

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
Alternative stable states and peat moss and vascular plant feedbacks in peatlands. Selected feedbacks in a peat moss‐dominated state or a vascular plant‐dominated state. The two insets show ecosystem states (dot) in resilience landscapes (bottom).

Multi-proxy high-resolution geochemical analysis reveals ecological baselines and evaluates potential restoration trajectories in European ombrotrophic peatlands

Ecological Indicators
The application of a multi-proxy approach to evaluate ecological baselines with the purpose of analysing potential restoration trajectories in ombrotrophic bogs is limited.

REDUCING GHG EMISSIONS BY ABANDONING AGRICULTURAL LAND USE ON ORGANIC SOILS [PDF]

6.5% of the German UAA is located on organic soils (fens and bogs). Nevertheless, the drainage of these areas in order to allow their agricultural utilization causes roughly a third of the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) of the German agricultural sector,

Drained Agricultural Peatlands as Persistent Carbon Sources: Implications for Carbon and Water Use Intensity in Food Production

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
Peatlands have the capacity to sequester large quantities of carbon and can therefore play an important role in climate change mitigation. However, anthropogenic activities alter their hydrological regimes, converting them from net CO2 sinks into net sources.

Investigating the Potential Consequences of Woodland Creation for British Mammal Populations

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We simulated the conversion of suitable areas in the UK to woodland, according to the current and target woodland creation rates, and assessed how this would affect habitat availability and potential population sizes of British mammals. We predicted that most assessed mammals would benefit or be unaffected by planned woodland creation, but some ...

An ecologic study of peat landforms in Canada and Alaska [PDF]

The role of groundwater and surface runoff in controlling the water chemistry and development of peat landforms in northern Minnesota are described. The LANDSAT imagery taken duing spring break-up are particularly valuable in identifying potential zones ...

Final report on project SP1210: Lowland peatland systems in England and Wales – evaluating greenhouse gas fluxes and carbon balances [PDF]

, 2016
Lowland peatlands represent one of the most carbon-rich ecosystems in the UK. As a result of widespread habitat modification and drainage to support agriculture and peat extraction, they have been converted from natural carbon sinks into major carbon ...
