Rewet without regret? Nutrient dynamics in fen peat exposed to different rewetting degrees
Abstract All over the world, peatlands have been drained, often for agricultural purposes, resulting in CO2 emissions, soil subsidence and biodiversity loss. To combat these negative effects, drained peatlands are being rewetted, but knowledge of the effects of rewetting on peat biogeochemistry is still incomplete, especially since a variety ...

Rewetting of a hot surface by a falling liquid film
Abstract An experimental study is made on rewetting of a hot stainless steel tube by a Freon 113 liquid film at atmospheric pressure. The effects of liquid film flow rate, initial wall temperature and wall thickness on the wet front velocity are presented.

Net mineralizable soil phosphorus cannot be measured by non‐isotopic approaches
Abstract While radioisotopic pool dilution is widely regarded as the most reliable method for estimating soil phosphorus mineralization (Pmin), high costs, low throughput, and safety requirements limit its use. We evaluated the potential of non‐radioisotopic approaches to estimating net Pmin by difference before and after aerobic incubation, analogous ...

Abstract Aggregate stability impacts important soil functions, including carbon/water storage and soil structure. Macroaggregate stability tests, using rainfall simulation or wet sieving, are commonly used, but microaggregate stability tests may be more applicable to subtropical, coarse‐textured soils.

ABSTRACT This study presents a multi‐method analysis framework that combines trend analysis, dry period persistence and machine learning‐based projections to comprehensively assess drought risk in the Southeastern Anatolia Project (GAP) Region. The study first identified trends for the 2000–2024 period using the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI ...

ABSTRACT Grassland response to changes in water availability is closely tied to the traits of the plant community. Plants can adopt either moderate and efficient (conservative) or rapid and demanding (acquisitive) resource use strategies. These strategies combined with the plant interactions with microbes, such as arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF ...

Abstract Although heavy rainfall and the input of unsenescent litter produced by tropical cyclones can profoundly affect the activities of soil nitrogen (N) cycling‐related enzymes in coastal mountain forest ecosystems in the short term, the immediate responses of these enzymes to typhoon disturbances and the underlying mechanism remain unknown.

Salted Peat: The Forgotten Casualty of Rising Sea Level in Freshwater Coastal Tropical Peatlands
This paper invites reflection on the largely overlooked risk that rising sea levels may salinize coastal tropical peatlands, potentially destabilizing vegetation, carbon cycling, and livelihoods. By synthesizing emerging evidence, it highlights a critical blind spot in climate models and adaptation frameworks that warrant urgent scientific and policy ...

In a 2‐year outdoor mesocosm experiment, slow‐ and fast‐growing grassland plants exhibit biomass‐trait decoupling 1 month after drought, particularly under warmed conditions. This decoupling disappears 4 months after drought by the end of the growing season.

Temporally dynamic carbon dioxide and methane emission factors for rewetted peatlands
Rewetting drained peatlands is recognized as a leading and effective natural solution to curb greenhouse gas emissions. However, rewetting creates novel ecosystems whose emission behaviors are not adequately captured by currently used emission factors ...
