The economics of peatland restoration [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Economics and Policy, 2018 Restoration offers opportunities for securing and enhancing critical ecosystem services provided by peatlands, such as carbon storage, water retention and water quality, and support for biodiversity and wildlife. A comprehensive valuation encompassing the relevant public benefits of restoration and how these compare with it is lacking to date, leaving ...

Facilitating new livelihoods to promote peatland restoration in Indonesia - what are the challenges for ensuring sustainable and equitable livelihood transitions? [PDF]
Mires and PeatMuch of the peatland in Central Kalimantan is highly degraded because it has been cleared and drained over the last 30–40 years. Degraded peatland is highly susceptible to burning and oxidation and contributes 30–60 % of the annual greenhouse gas ...

More field-based carbon monitoring of tropical peatland restoration is urgently needed: findings from a systematic literature review [PDF]
Mires and PeatThe tropical peatland degradation crisis in Southeast Asia has triggered a surge in peatland restoration activity to reduce carbon emissions caused by biological oxidation of dry peat and recurrent peat fires.

Towards ecosystem-based restoration of peatland biodiversity [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2017 Natural peatlands support rich biological diversity at the genetic, species, ecosystem and landscape levels. However, because the character of this diversity differs from that of other ecosystem types, the value of peatlands for biodiversity has often ...

Effective monitoring and management of peatland restoration [PDF]
, 2021 Peatland restoration is a complex process that requires continuous monitoring to enable an adaptive, iterative landscape approach that meets local conditions, needs and aspirations. Peatland restoration monitoring can inform design, strategy, site selection and management approaches, as well as improve restoration outcomes through adjustments.

Evaluating the carbon costs of UK blanket peatland restoration [PDF]
Carbon ManagementPeatland restoration is recognised as a key nature-based solution to the climate crisis. While post-restoration carbon benefits are widely emphasised, carbon emissions generated during restoration remain unquantified.

Restoration of blanket peatlands [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Management, 2014 There is concern that ecosystem services provided by blanket peatlands have come under threat due to increasing degradation. Blanket peatlands are subject to a wide range of drivers of degradation and are topographically variable. As a result, many degradation forms can develop, including those resulting from eroding artificial drainage, incising ...
