Frontiers in ClimatePeatlands are the most carbon-dense ecosystems on earth. In tropical mountains, peatlands are numerous and susceptible to rapid degradation and carbon loss after human disturbances.

Floristic variation in Sphagnum-dominated peatland communities of the Central Highlands, Victoria [PDF]
, 2013 The floristic composition of Sphagnum-dominated peatlands in the Central Highlands region of Victoria was surveyed (37º 25´ S; 145º 50´ E). NMDS ordination and cluster analysis divided the peatland sites into two broad groups with altitude being the most

The “Magic” of Conflict: How Participatory Governance Can Enable Transformative Climate Adaptation
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In many cases, addressing climate risks requires transformative climate adaptation (TCA) that goes beyond small adjustments to existing systems. While scholars increasingly argue that participatory governance is key and should embrace conflict rather than push for consensus to enable TCA, this assumption remains underexplored.

Issues Related to Incorporating Northern Peatlands into Global Climate Models [PDF]
, 2009 Northern peatlands cover ~3–4 million km2 (~10% of the land north of 45°N) and contain ~200–400 Pg carbon (~10–20% of total global soil carbon), almost entirely as peat (organic soil).

Dynamics of methane ebullition from a peat monolith revealed from a dynamic flux chamber system [PDF]
, 2014 Methane (CH4) ebullition in northern peatlands is poorly quantified in part due to its high spatiotemporal variability. In this study, a dynamic flux chamber (DFC) system was used to continuously measure CH4 fluxes from a monolith of near‐surface ...

Morphology of peatland lakes [PDF]
Limnological Review, 2010 Morphology of peatland lakes The morphometric features of 10 small (0.1-2.9 ha) and shallow (4-16 m) peatland lakes, located in basins filled with peat, were examined. The elongation of such lakes and the development coefficient of their shorelines are very low. The mean depth is close to the maximum value (7.0±4.8 and 7.8±3.9 m, respectively),

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Incoherence between national land use policies may weaken climate mitigation efforts by creating conditions under which agricultural and forestry production and GHG emissions are displaced across borders (leakage). Coherence depends on constellations and prioritization of national policy aims in land use (production) and climate (conservation).

Peat Drainage Ditch Mapping from Aerial Imagery Using a Convolutional Neural Network
Remote Sensing, 2023 This study trialled a convolutional neural net (CNN)-based approach to mapping peat ditches from aerial imagery. Peat ditches were dug in the last century to improve peat moorland for agriculture and forestry at the expense of habitat health and carbon ...

Sobol\u27 sensitivity analysis of the Holocene Peat Model: What drives carbon accumulation in peatlands? [PDF]
, 2013 Understanding the development of northern peatlands and their carbon accumulation dynamics is crucial in order to confidently integrate northern peatlands into global carbon cycle models.

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT On its 100th anniversary in 2026, the German Soil Science Society (DBG) is looking back not only on an eventful history with traditions and impressive achievements but also with painful interruptions and ruptures. One curious fact is that the DBG was initially founded as the national section of the International Soil Science Society (ISSS ...
