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).

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.

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 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.

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.
