Map** and monitoring peatland conditions from global to field scale

B Minasny, DV Adetsu, M Aitkenhead, RRE Artz… - Biogeochemistry, 2024 - Springer
Abstract Peatlands cover only 3–4% of the Earth's surface, but they store nearly 30% of
global soil carbon stock. This significant carbon store is under threat as peatlands continue …

Peatland restoration pathways to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and retain peat carbon

Ü Mander, M Espenberg, L Melling, A Kull - Biogeochemistry, 2024 - Springer
Peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon (C) cycle, making their restoration a key
strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and retaining C. This study …

Wetter is better: rewetting of minerotrophic peatlands increases plant production and moves them towards carbon sinks in a dry year

S Schwieger, J Kreyling, J Couwenberg, M Smiljanić… - Ecosystems, 2021 - Springer
Peatlands are effective carbon sinks as more biomass is produced than decomposed under
the prevalent anoxic conditions. Draining peatlands coupled with warming releases stored …

Linking 16S rRNA Gene Classification to amoA Gene Taxonomy Reveals Environmental Distribution of Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaeal Clades in Peatland Soils

H Wang, A Bagnoud, RI Ponce-Toledo, M Kerou… - Msystems, 2021 - journals.asm.org
ABSTRACT A highly resolved taxonomy for ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) based on the
alpha subunit of ammonia monooxygenase (amoA) was recently established, which …

[HTML][HTML] Danish wetlands remained poor with plant species 17-years after restoration

M Baumane, DH Zak, T Riis, W Kotowski… - Science of the Total …, 2021 - Elsevier
For more than two decades, wetland restoration has been successfully applied in Denmark

Decomposition of lignin and carbohydrates in a rewetted peatland: a comparative analysis of surface water and anaerobic soil layers

J Reuter, H Reuter, D Zak - Biogeochemistry, 2024 - Springer
The rewetting of long-term drained peatlands leads to the development of eutrophic shallow
lakes, gradually inhabited by reed communities. These shallow lakes are characterized by …

Unraveling microbial processes involved in carbon and nitrogen cycling and greenhouse gas emissions in rewetted peatlands by molecular biology

E Gios, E Verbruggen, J Audet, R Burns… - Biogeochemistry, 2024 - Springer
Restoration of drained peatlands through rewetting has recently emerged as a prevailing
strategy to mitigate excessive greenhouse gas emissions and re-establish the vital carbon …

Plant roots but not hydrology control microbiome composition and methane flux in temperate fen mesocosms

M Piecha, J Kreyling, J Couwenberg, M Pester… - Science of the Total …, 2024 - Elsevier
The rewetting of formerly drained peatlands can help to counteract climate change through
the reduction of CO 2 emissions. However, this can lead to resuming CH 4 emissions due to …
