Satellite data archives reveal positive effects of peatland restoration: albedo and temperature begin to resemble those of intact peatlands

Environmental Research Letters
Peatlands store significant amounts of carbon, which is released as greenhouse gases when peatlands are degraded. Restoration and rewetting can help prevent these emissions, while continuous monitoring is critical for evaluating their success.

Hydrological function of rewetted peatlands linked to saturated hydraulic conductivity in Kubu Raya, West Kalimantan, Indonesia

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management
The hydrological function of peatlands, one of which is acting as a medium for storing and releasing water, undergoes alteration due to degradation. Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) is a pivotal parameter for comprehending the hydraulic properties ...

Impact of Pore-Scale Wettability on Rhizosphere Rewetting

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018
Vast amounts of water flow through a thin layer of soil around the roots, the rhizosphere, where high microbial activity takes place—an important hydrological and biological hotspot.

Bubble Rise in a Non-Isothermal Self-Rewetting Fluid and the Role of Thermocapillarity [PDF]

, 2017
We report on the motion of a buoyancy-driven bubble in a vertical micro-channel and the significant role of thermocapillarity. A series of experiments have been carried out using a circular micro-channel filled with pure liquids (pure water and pure 1 ...

Comparison of growing media for container grown plants [PDF]

, 2011
Greenhouse and growth chamber experiments are conducted worldwide in efforts to produce solutions that would increase yields of agronomic crops. However, the results of those experiments vary due to the many growth media being used.

Vlaženje za vrijeme kaljenja u tekućem sredstvu

Strojarstvo : časopis za teoriju i praksu u strojarstvu, 2011
Immersion quenching is a widely used technique in heat treatment, because this technique provides higher heat transfer coefficients than the most alternative gas quenching techniques. The disadvantage of immersion quenching in evaporating fluids is the complex heat transfer mechanism which consists of three phases, namely film boiling, nucleate boiling

Birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh.) Encroachment Alters Contribution of Plant Functional Groups to Ecosystem Carbon Cycling in a Rewetted Bog

Ecology and Evolution
Rewetted bogs with high water levels (WL) and mire‐specific vegetation are crucial carbon (C) sinks, but their function might be threatened by tree encroachment, a phenomenon widespread in the northern hemisphere that often coincides with low WL.

Unlocking the potential of peatlands and paludiculture to achieve Germany’s climate targets: obstacles and major fields of action

Frontiers in Climate
Greenhouse gas emissions from drained peatlands must be substantially reduced to meet climate mitigation targets. In Germany, annual peatland emissions of 53 Mt CO2e account for more than 7% of total national GHG emissions.

Drained and forgotten peat extraction sites: economic and carbon impacts of peat and water loss in spontaneously forested Lithuanian peatlands

Przegląd Naukowy Inżynieria i Kształtowanie Środowiska
This study examines the condition and environmental impact of abandoned peatland quarries in Lithuania. Using spatial data and field investigations, we identified 33 abandoned peat quarry sites covering over 3,854 ha, which were abandoned between 1940 ...

Responses of microbial respiration rate and active bacterial communities to antecedent soil moisture on the Loess Plateau

Geoderma
Previous studies on microbial respiration responses to soil moisture have primarily focused on the influence of current moisture conditions, largely overlooking the role of antecedent soil moisture and its effects on the soil carbon (C) pool.
