Unexplored Carbon Sink Potential? Exploring Pathways to Integrate Peatland Restoration into CDM and REDD+ Mechanisms [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Peatlands are critical carbon reservoirs in terrestrial ecosystems; however, their degradation can transform them into major greenhouse gas sources, posing significant challenges to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Is 15% restoration sufficient to safeguard the habitats of boreal red-listed mire plant species?

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
We used habitat suitability modeling to investigate whether the 15% ecosystem restoration target set in the previous Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) and EU Biodiversity strategy targets, is sufficient to safeguard red-listed mire plant species ...

The distribution and naturalness of peatland on Terceira Island (Azores): instruments to define priority areas for conservation and restoration [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2019
The study reported here used spatial analysis to assess the effectiveness of the legal nature protection framework in supporting the conservation of peatlands on Terceira Island (Azores archipelago, Portugal) and identify potential improvements. Terceira

The Impact of Peatland Restoration on Local Climate: Restoration of a Cool Humid Island [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2019
AbstractLand use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) have been directly altering climate, and it has been proposed that such changes could mitigate anthropogenic climate warming brought about by increases in greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere.

Evaluating the carbon costs of UK blanket peatland restoration

Carbon Management
Peatland 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.

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.

Effects of climate change and human activities on net primary production of wetlands on the Zoige Plateau from 1990 to 2015

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Wetlands are vulnerable to climate change and human activities. However, the past changes caused by climate and human activities on net primary production (NPP) were unclear on the Zoige Plateau, which is on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Identifying a shared vision for peatland restoration: adapting the Delphi method to enhance collaboration [PDF]

Mires and Peat
In this article we propose and apply a methodology for collaboratively creating and reaching agreement over a shared vision for peatland restoration.

Trust and Transformation: Institutional Complexity in Carbon Market Adoption in Emerging Economies' Land‐Based Private Sectors

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite global commitments under the Paris Agreement, empirical evidence on the involvement of the land‐based private sector of emerging economies in carbon trading remains limited. The study analyses how behavioural factors and institutional complexities influence the involvement of the land‐based private sector in carbon trading in Indonesia.

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
