Exploring patterns for social‐ecological success of ecosystem restoration worldwide

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecosystem restoration is a crucial response to human‐induced land degradation, which threatens biodiversity and ecosystem functions, poses food and water insecurity and undermines livelihoods, cultural values and human–nature relationships. For restoration to be effective and equitable, it is essential to understand how social and ecological ...

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

Policy Brief: Brazil's open ecosystems—Carbon stocks overlooked by climate finance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The equitable recognition of the world's open ecosystems is critical for climate justice and societal well‐being. These ecosystems provide essential services, like carbon storage, water security, and biodiversity protection, that strengthen resilience to climate change. Yet, they remain overlooked in climate finance and policy frameworks that privilege

Distribution of peatlands

, 2000
The Mackenzie valley is characterized by vast peatlands dominated by two classes, bog and fen; the former is generally frozen and ground ice is common, the latter is unfrozen. Large peatlands are associated with broad featureless glaciolacustrine or till plains while smaller ones occur in low-lying areas between till or eolian ridges.

Improved Cerrado Wetland Mapping Through Seasonal Moisture Metrics, Terrain Information and Semantic Segmentation

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

Wentiomyces sp. from plant litter on poor fen in northeastern Poland

Acta Mycologica, 2014
During research carried on peatlands in northeastern Poland, small leaf-litter ascomycete identified as Wentiomyces sp. was found on decaying litter of Sphagnum sp. and Vaccinium oxycoccos.

The Emerging Role of UAV for Heathland Monitoring and Conservation: State of the Art and Perspectives

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Heathland ecosystems are currently in a degraded state due to agricultural transformations and the effects of climate change. They are semi‐natural ecosystems hosting a variety of species (fauna and flora), and they also carry landscape and cultural importance, hence the need to pay careful attention to their conservation.

Microbial Community Analyses Inform Geochemical Reaction Network Models for Predicting Pathways of Greenhouse Gas Production

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
The mechanisms, pathways, and rates of CO2 and CH4 production are central to understanding carbon cycling and greenhouse gas flux in wetlands. Thawing permafrost regions are of particular interest because they are disproportionally affected by climate ...

Metal concentrations in benthic invertebrates in peatlands. [PDF]

, 1993
In order to assess the influence of various abiotic and biotic factors on metal accumulation in peatlands, insects were collected from bogs, mineral poor fens and circumneutral fens located in Central Ontario.
