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.

Water Table and Vegetation Shape Peatland CO<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> Fluxes With Water Table Modulating Temperature Sensitivity. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolUsing 14,643 chamber observations from 285 peatland sites, we found that wetter conditions were associated with higher CH4 emissions but lower ecosystem respiration and combined CO2‐equivalent emissions. Apparent CH4 temperature sensitivity also increased with water‐table level, suggesting that fixed Q10 values may misrepresent warming responses ...

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).

The Response of Microbial Communities to Peatland Drainage and Rewetting. A Review
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Peatlands are significant global carbon stores and play an important role in mediating the flux of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. During the 20th century substantial areas of northern peatlands were drained to repurpose the land for industrial or

Flooding of an abandoned fen by beaver led to highly variable greenhouse gas emissions [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2020 Rewetting by beaver is reported from many European peatlands and especially from Belarus, which harbours vast abandoned peat extraction sites and a large beaver population.

Community perceptions of peat rewetting in Tumbang Nusa Village, Indonesia [PDF]
Mires and PeatIndonesia is committed to rewetting peatlands to reduce the risk of fires and to decrease national greenhouse gas emissions. The three main approaches currently being implemented for rewetting peatlands in Indonesia are: 1) installing dams in drainage ...

Carbon stocks and their spatial distribution in drained and rewetted peatland forests in a low mountain range area, Germany [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2021 Drainage and rewetting of peatlands changes their carbon (C) dynamics. We measured C stocks in the soil and biomass of drained and rewetted peatland forests in the region of the National Park Hunsrück-Hochwald, Germany.

Towards large-scale paludiculture: addressing the challenges of biomass harvesting in wet and rewetted peatlands [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2015 Peatland drainage causes peat degradation, which results in high greenhouse gas emissions and ongoing subsidence of the ground surface. To avoid further land degradation, the rewetting of peatlands is essential. The new land use concept of paludiculture -

Where can rewetting of forested peatland reduce extreme flows? Model experiment on the hydrology of Sweden [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System SciencesHistorical drainage to improve forestry practices has resulted in around 7×105 ha drained forested peatland in Sweden. This has reduced the storage of water in the landscape and may impact greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity, and the damping of ...
