We evaluated the potential of prairie wetlands in North America as carbon sinks. Agricultural conversion has resulted in the average loss of 10.1 Mg ha 1 of ...
The objective of the present study is to assess changes of forest tree / shrub area in a mire ecosystem between 1997 and 2002 using logistic regression models ...
The document links to guidance on practical peatland restoration methods that SNH and other organisations have used successfully.
Bogs contain two different microbial ecosystems: one at the surface, the aerobic acrotelm, and the other in the body of the bog, the anaerobic catotelm. The ...
Overview: Bogs are nutrient-poor peatlands characterized by acidic, saturated peat and the prevalence of sphagnum mosses and ericaceous shrubs.
Both minerotrophic (fens and transitional mires) and ombrotrophic (raised bogs) mires occur in Latvia. Mires are distributed throughout the country but the area ...
Most of the wetlands on Hokkaido Island are peat-forming mires and constitute one of the most important principal ecosystems characterizing the natural ...
Raised mires are ecosystems in which waterlogged peat accumulates above the level of the surrounding stream system.
One short-term impact of restoration is the emission of methane, a much more potent and harmful greenhouse gas than carbon. Scientists are monitoring carbon and ...
Our project includes working on financing mechanisms for delivering sustainable, equitable outcomes for people, climate and nature from peatland restoration.
This is especially true of peatlands, a type of carbon-rich wetland ecosystem estimated to store more than 30% of the world's terrestrial soil carbon while ...
It is important to recognise that wetlands have always provided sinks for sequestration of carbon and also been sources of carbon dioxide and methane emissions.
