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 -

Physiological and N2-fixation-related traits for tolerance to drought in soybean progenies [PDF]

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2019
: The objective of this work was to evaluate six soybean (Glycine max) genotypes for physiological traits and biological nitrogen fixation in drought conditions, and their capacity for recovery after rewetting, based on yield components.

Restoration of Degraded Tropical Peatland in Indonesia: A Review

Land, 2021
Tropical peatlands are fragile ecosystems with an important role in conserving biodiversity, water quality and availability, preventing floods, soil intrusion, erosion and sedimentation, and providing a livelihood for people.

Towards developing IPCC methane ‘emission factors’ for peatlands (organic soils) [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2012
(1) Huge reductions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) effluxes can be attained by rewetting drained peatlands, but this will increase methane (CH4) effluxes.(2) The scientific data base for methane effluxes from peatlands is much larger ...

Where can rewetting of forested peatland reduce extreme flows? Model experiment on the hydrology of Sweden [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
Historical 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 ...

Does peatland rewetting mitigate flooding from extreme rainfall events? [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
Pristine peatlands are believed to play an important role in regulating hydrological extremes because they can act as reservoirs for rainwater and release it gradually during dry periods.

Ecological Groups of Coleoptera (Insecta) as Indicators of Habitat Transformation on Drained and Rewetted Peatlands: A Baseline Study from a Carbon Supersite, Kaliningrad, Russia

Insects
A total of 281 coleopteran species from 41 families were recorded from different sites of an abandoned cut-over peatland designated as the Carbon Measurement Supersite in Kaliningrad Oblast.

Characterization of a two‐phase hybrid flotation column

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study explored the performance of a novel hybrid flotation column, which combines the advantages of a mechanically agitated cell with a flotation column and compared the results with a conventional flotation column setup. The experiments were performed in an air/water two‐phase system under varying airflow rates, frother concentrations ...

Transformation towards the sustainable management of peatlands: A characterisation of farmers in the Teufelsmoor, Germany

People and Nature
Peatland restoration through rewetting is a pivotal solution to counteract the climate crisis. Since many peatlands with the potential for rewetting are farmland, rewetting can only be achieved in collaboration with peatland farmers. However, the discord
