A Review of Techniques for Effective Tropical Peatland Restoration
Wetlands, 2018 Indonesia's peatlands have been subject to extensive deforestation and degradation resulting from logging, drainage, fires and conversion to other land uses. A number of restoration initiatives have been attempted to address this degradation yet, to date, there has been little coherent or rigorous reflection on the effectiveness of these interventions.

Peatland Restoration: An Ecohydrological Assessment [PDF]
, 2009 Pristine peatlands store approximately one-third of the world's soil carbon through the long-term accumulation of carbon as peat (Gorham, 1991). In Canada and Europe, peatlands are exploited for peat fuel and horticultural peat, which has an impact on the hydrological conditions and carbon balance of these ecosystems.

UK peatland restoration: Some economic arithmetic
Science of The Total Environment, 2014Over 80% of UK peatlands are degraded to some extent and their widespread restoration could contribute to meeting various climate change, water quality and biodiversity policy challenges. Economic analysis of costs and benefits is, however, hampered by scientific uncertainty and a lack of data on biophysical conditions as well as the impacts and costs ...
