Ecological Indicators, 2021 Fertilization in agricultural peatlands accelerates nutrient cycling and creates a potential risk to nearby natural peatlands. Here, using undisturbed peatlands as reference, we studied soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and the key enzymes ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2016 Northern peatlands constitute a significant source of atmospheric methane (CH4). However, management of undisturbed peatlands, as well as the restoration of disturbed peatlands, will alter the exchange of CH4 with the atmosphere.

Effects of water level alteration on carbon cycling in peatlands
Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2020 Globally, peatlands play an important role in the carbon (C) cycle. High water level is a key factor in maintaining C storage in peatlands, but water levels are vulnerable to climate change and anthropogenic disturbance.

Current state, pressures and protection of South African peatlands [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2021 Temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere make a small contribution to the global carbon sequestration of peatlands which, in these drier regions, are relatively rare and vulnerable to increasing anthropogenic and climate change pressures. Using South

Methanogenic archaea in peatlands [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2020 ABSTRACT Methane emission feedbacks in wetlands are predicted to influence global climate under climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. Herein, we review the taxonomy and physiological ecology of the microorganisms responsible for methane production in peatlands.

Biological Nitrogen Fixation and Nitrogen Accumulation in Peatlands
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Peatlands cover about 3% of the Earth’s surface and are regarded as a vital carbon (C) pool and sink. The formation of peatland is supported by continuously supplied nitrogen (N) but the sources of this N remain unclear.

Questioning ten common assumptions about peatlands [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2017 Peatlands have been widely studied in terms of their ecohydrology, carbon dynamics, ecosystem services and palaeoenvironmental archives. However, several assumptions are frequently made about peatlands in the academic literature, practitioner reports and

Physical and hydrological properties of peat as proxies for degradation of South African peatlands: Implications for conservation and restoration [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2018 The physical and hydrological properties of peat from seven peatlands in northern Maputaland (South Africa) were investigated and related to the degradation processes of peatlands in different hydrogeomorphic settings.

Mapping of peatlands in the forested landscape of Sweden using lidar-based terrain indices [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2023 Globally, northern peatlands are major carbon deposits with important implications for the climate system. It is therefore crucial to understand their spatial occurrence, especially in the context of peatland degradation by land cover change and climate ...
