Restoration of peatlands and greenhouse gas balances [PDF]

, 2008
In this chapter the impact of peatland restoration on greenhouse gas fluxes is discussed based on a literature review. Casestudies are presented covering different peatland types, different regions and different starting ...

ICESat/GLAS Data as a Measurement Tool for Peatland Topography and Peat Swamp Forest Biomass in Kalimantan, Indonesia [PDF]

, 2011
Indonesian peatlands are one of the largest near-surface pools of terrestrial organic carbon. Persistent logging, drainage and recurrent fires lead to huge emission of carbon each year.

Hydrological Conditions Outweigh Soil Texture, Temperature, and Terrain in German Agricultural Land Use

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The availability of fertile land suitable for agriculture is limited. In the European Union, political demand for self‐sufficiency in staple food production currently competes with increasing ambitions for nature restoration and green energy. Meanwhile, the overall agricultural area shrinks due to land sealing.

Unprecedented Burning in Tropical Peatlands During the 20th Century Compared to the Previous Two Millennia. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
This study reveals unprecedented burning in tropical peatlands during the 20th century, mainly expressed in the Indomalayan and Australasian regions, emphasising regional variability in peatland burning and its links to modern human activities. Before this period, tropical peatland burning largely followed changes in global temperature and was ...

Aquatic and Littoral Successions in Various Post‐Mining Sites—Patterns and Possible Use in Ecological Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic ...

Market development of local peatland commodities to support successful peatland restoration

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract Peatland degradation and community livelihood are often driven by market forces. Successful peatland restoration including community livelihood improvement programs is therefore highly correlated with market development of various local peatland commodities that are introduced to replace fire-using farming activities.

EU Peatlands: Current Carbon Stocks and Trace Gas Fluxes [PDF]

, 2004
Peatlands in Europe has formed a significant sink for atmospheric CO2 since the last glacial maximum. Currently they are estimated to hold ca. 42 Gt carbon in the form of peat and are therefore a considerable component in the European carbon budget.

Impact of Nitrogen Deposition on Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Peatlands Under Land‐Use Change

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition significantly alters carbon and N dynamics in peatlands by affecting microbial processes, enhancing greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient leaching into adjacent waters. However, how peatland conversion for agriculture and forestry influences the fate of added N under elevated atmospheric deposition remains ...

Community dynamics of lignicolous lichens on standing deadwood in a 275‐year chronosequence

Oikos, EarlyView.
Dead trees provide discrete habitat patches in which patch quality changes gradually due to wood decomposition. Although in most cases these patches persist for not more than a few decades, in some ecosystems deadwood decomposition and the consequent change in habitat patch quality can be a centuries‐long process, potentially leading to dynamics of ...
