Greenhouse gas balance of solar parks built on peatlands in Germany [PDF]
Scientific ReportsDrained peatlands are responsible for around 4% of anthropogenic GHG-emissions. To trigger the necessary large-scale rewetting, solar parks built on rewetted peatlands in Germany have been eligible for a feed-in tariff since 2023.

Water quality assessment in peatlands from north-western Romania: Iaz and La Poduri case studies [PDF]
Aerul şi Apa: Componente ale Mediului, 2023 Present study is focusing on a few peatlands located in north-western part of Romania, as part of a larger project oriented to implement a series of restauration works in degraded peatlands. Water scarcity have transformed some of these peatlands and the

Genesis and abiotic characteristics of three high-altitude peatlands in the Tien Shan Mountains (Kyrgyzstan), with focus on silty peatland substrates [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2016 Peatlands are scarce and threatened ecosystems in the semiarid region of Kyrgyzstan. Knowledge about the Kyrgyz peatlands is still poor and, especially, their genesis has hardly been investigated so far.

Peatland hydrology and carbon release: why small-scale process matters [PDF]
, 2005 Peatlands cover over 400 million hectares of the Earth's surface and store between one-third and one-half of the world's soil carbon pool. The long-term ability of peatlands to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere means that they play a major role ...

Transient simulations of the carbon and nitrogen dynamics in northern peatlands: from the Last Glacial Maximum to the 21st century [PDF]
, 2012 The development of northern high-latitude peatlands played an important role in the carbon (C) balance of the land biosphere since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).

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. Despite their potential for large positive feedbacks to the climate system through sequestration and ...

Environmental Microbiome, 2023 Background Peatlands contain about 500 Pg of carbon worldwide and play a dual role as both a carbon sink and an important methane (CH4) source, thereby potentially influencing climate change. However, systematic studies on peat properties, microorganisms,
