Peatlands and the carbon cycle: from local processes to global implications – a synthesis [PDF]

, 2008
Peatlands cover only 3% of the Earth's land surface but boreal and subarctic peatlands store about 15–30% of the world's soil carbon (C) as peat.

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.

Drained and forgotten peat extraction sites: economic and carbon impacts of peat and water loss in spontaneously forested Lithuanian peatlands

Przegląd Naukowy Inżynieria i Kształtowanie Środowiska
This study examines the condition and environmental impact of abandoned peatland quarries in Lithuania. Using spatial data and field investigations, we identified 33 abandoned peat quarry sites covering over 3,854 ha, which were abandoned between 1940 ...

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).

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.

Peatland Definition Matters for Carbon Accounting and Long-Term Ecosystem Restoration [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Peatlands are carbon-rich ecosystems that represent the largest terrestrial carbon store and play a critical role in climate regulation. However, increasing human disturbances have significantly degraded peatlands, making their restoration a global ...

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 ...

Water Table and Vegetation Shape Peatland CO₂ and CH₄ Fluxes With Water Table Modulating Temperature Sensitivity. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Using 14,643 chamber observations from 285 peatland sites, we found that wetter conditions were associated with higher CH4 emissions but lower ecosystem respiration and combined CO2‐equivalent emissions. Apparent CH4 temperature sensitivity also increased with water‐table level, suggesting that fixed Q10 values may misrepresent warming responses ...

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.
