Effects of nitrogen addition on anaerobic oxidation of methane in Zoige Plateau peatlands
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), an important biological process to reduce global methane emissions to the atmosphere, can utilize methane as an electron donor to reduce sulfate, nitrate, nitrite, iron, manganese, AQDS (9,10-anthraquinone-2,6 ...

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 ...

Fungi are more sensitive than bacteria to drainage in the peatlands of the Zoige Plateau
Ecological Indicators, 2021 The peatlands of the Zoige Plateau are an important global carbon source that is currently under threat as a result of drainage for grazing. How drainage affects the microbial diversity and activity in peatlands is unclear.

Characterizing subsidence in used and restored peatland with Sentinel SAR data
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Peatland is a fragile ecosystem in the tropical region which is prone to subsidence. Until now, there is still lack of procedure to rapidly assess a tropical peatland subsidence in a large area.
