Peatland hydrology and carbon release: why small-scale process matters [PDF]

, 2005
Peatlands cover over 400 million hectares of the Earth's surface and store between one-third and one-half of the world's soil carbon pool. The long-term ability of peatlands to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere means that they play a major role ...

Ascertaining the nature and timing of mire degradation : using palaeoecology to assist future conservation management in Northern England [PDF]

, 2017
This study was initiated under contract VT0419 from English Nature (Natural England) to CECQR. In 2015, additional funding was provided by the Yorkshire Peat Partnership, for 210Pb dating, to refine age–depth estimates.

Artificial drainage of peatlands: hydrological and hydrochemical process and wetland restoration [PDF]

, 2004
Peatlands have been subject to artificial drainage for centuries. This drainage has been in response to agricultural demand, forestry, horticultural and energy properties of peat and alleviation of flood risk.

InSAR Time Series Analysis of L-Band Data for Understanding Tropical Peatland Degradation and Restoration

Remote Sensing, 2019
In this study, satellite radar observations are employed to reveal spatiotemporal changes in ground surface height of peatlands that have, and have not, undergone restoration in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Variation in the Soil Prokaryotic Community Under Simulated Warming and Rainfall Reduction in Different Water Table Peatlands of the Zoige Plateau

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Climate change and water table drawdown impact the community structure and diversity of peatland soil prokaryotes. Nonetheless, how soil prokaryotes of different water tables respond to climate change remains largely unknown.

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.

Moth responses to forest-to-bog restoration [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2020
The responses of peatland invertebrates to land use changes and associated effects of peatland degradation are not well known, particularly for diverse and species-rich taxa such as moths.

Restoration of Degraded Boreal Peatlands [PDF]

, 2006
Even though Sphagnum mosses are not easy plants to manipulate on artificial substrates or in nonnatural environments, it is possible to revegetate large expanses of cutover peatland at a relatively low cost (in the range of US $900–1400 per hectare). Only long term monitoring of the current restoration projects will confirm if it is possible to restore

More field-based carbon monitoring of tropical peatland restoration is urgently needed: findings from a systematic literature review [PDF]

Mires and Peat
The 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.

The effectiveness of canal blocking for hydrological restoration in tropical peatland [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
The Peatland Restoration Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BRG-RI), an agency that is mandated to restore 2 million hectares of degraded peatland by 2020, has developed a 3-R approach towards tackling the problem based on the program of rewetting ...
