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 ...

Evaluating the carbon costs of UK blanket peatland restoration
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.

REWETTING DESIGN FOR TROPICAL PEATLAND RESTORATION
Sociae Polites, 2020 Peatlands located in tropical climates are estimated to have an area of 11% of the total peatland on earth. The scope of tropical peatland is proportional to the significant role this ecosystem plays in the stability of the earth and everything in it.
