Restoring peatlands in European landscapes
Peatlands in Europe have declined dramatically both in surface and in quality. At the same time, these wetlands fulfil essential ecosystem services such as water purification, biodiversity conservation and carbon retention. Restoration of degraded peatlands is therefore key to enhance these services.Ruurd van Diggelen +3 more

Organic matter accumulation in a restored peatland: Evaluating restoration success
Ecological Engineering, 2010Recent advances in peatland restoration techniques have succeeded in establishing Sphagnum moss on the remnant cutover peat surface following peat extraction; however, evaluating restoration success remains a key issue. We argue that a Sphagnum-dominated peatland can only be considered functionally ‘restored’ once organic matter accumulation has ...

Peatland restoration and ecosystem services: nature-based solutions for societal goals
2016‘Peatland conservation is a prime example of a nature-based solution to climate change but we urgently need to switch from aspiration to action to secure the benefits that peatlands provide’. Julia Marton Lefèvre, former Director-General, IUCN Introduction The chapters of this book provide a compelling account of the crucial role of peatlands for human

Peatland Restoration: An Ecohydrological Assessment
2009Pristine 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.

Assessing the effects of peatland restoration
Naturally functioning peatlands, referred to as ‘mires’, are of high biodiversity value and fulfil a wide range of ecosystem functions, such as landscape-scale water regulation or the long-term storage of carbon and nutrients. Due to drainage, mainly for agriculture and forestry, more than 95% of German peatlands are degraded, resulting in the loss of ...openaire +1 more source
