Plant diversity associated with pools in natural and restored peatlands [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2007 This study describes plant assemblages associated with the edges of peatland pools. We conducted inventories in six natural peatlands in the province of Québec (Canada) in order to measure the contribution of pools to species diversity in climatic ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.This Open Letter highlights peatlands as critical yet overlooked ecosystems in Brazil's climate and biodiversity policies. By translating scientific evidence into clear, actionable priorities for policymakers, it supports more accurate climate reporting, effective mitigation strategies, and improved land‐use governance.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Implementing nature‐based climate solutions is important for mitigating climate change, which is a global issue, but requires local adjustments in management practices. Using the association between soil carbon and minerals as a proxy for carbon persistence, we evaluated the effect of different management regimes on soil carbon sequestration and loss ...

Ditch emissions partially offset global reductions in methane emissions from peatland drainage
Communications Earth & EnvironmentPeatlands are globally important carbon sinks but are frequently drained. Drainage activities reduce overall methane emissions; however they are often accompanied by the construction of ditches, which are potential methane emission hotspots.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Regulated rivers represent complex hydrological systems where groundwater–surface water interactions are governed by natural conditions and human interventions. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of groundwater–surface water exchanges in the Nechako River, British Columbia (Canada), using numerical simulations.

A Radiocarbon-Based Framework to Assess Soil Organic Carbon Persistence and Vulnerability Across Land-Use Types. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolSoil organic carbon (SOC) persists over timescales from years to millennia but remains vulnerable to disturbance depending on stabilization mechanisms and environmental constraints. This study assesses SOC persistence and vulnerability across five land‐use types by combining radiocarbon‐derived system age and transit time with indicators of biological ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Temperate fens with only incipient, subtle signs of deterioration can be reliably identified using Sentinel‐2 and aerial imagery, which sensitively detect early productivity‐related structural changes. Abstract Small temperate fens rank among the most endangered habitats in temperate Europe.
