Carbon dynamics of a controlled peatland rewetting experiment in the Norwegian boreal zone [PDF]
Scientific ReportsA controlled peatland rewetting experiment was conducted on two adjacent drained peatland sites in southeastern Norway. Eddy covariance monitoring of CO2 and CH4 fluxes at both sites began in 2019.

Repeated drying and rewetting cycles accelerate bacterial growth recovery after rewetting [PDF]
Biology and Fertility of Soils, 2022 AbstractTwo patterns of bacterial growth response upon drying and rewetting (DRW) of soils have previously been identified. Bacterial growth can either start increasing immediately after rewetting in a linear fashion (“type 1” response) or start increasing exponentially after a lag period (“type 2” response).

Regeneration potential of a degraded alpine mountain bog: complex regeneration patterns after grazing cessation and partial rewetting [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2022 A typical degraded mountain bog in the Swiss Alps was restored by cessation of grazing and partial rewetting. We observed the development of the vegetation over 15 years, starting immediately after the grazing cessation (4 years before rewetting ...

Back to the Future: Restoring Northern Drained Forested Peatlands for Climate Change Mitigation
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Draining peatlands for forestry in the northern hemisphere turns their soils from carbon sinks to substantial sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs). To reverse this trend, rewetting has been proposed as a climate change mitigation strategy.

Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and soil nutrient addition on the growth of Phragmites australis under different drying-rewetting cycles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The frequency of soil drying-rewetting cycles is predicted to increase under future global climate change, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbiotic with most plants.

Status of plant-available potassium after 17 years of wet grassland restoration on a degraded minerotrophic peat soil [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2021 Potassium availability is an important regulator of plant species composition and ecosystem productivity. Hence, potassium plays a crucial role when the aim is to produce notable quantities of roughage in wet grassland farming. The objective of this case

Analysis of Rewetting Characteristics and Process Parameters in Tobacco Strip Redrying Stage
Applied Sciences, 2022 To study the rewetting characteristics of tobacco strips during the redrying stage, a conjugate heat and mass transfer model of tobacco strips was established based on their physical properties.
