Rewetting drained agricultural peatlands aids in restoring their original ecosystem functions, including carbon storage and sustaining unique biodiversity. 30–60 cm of topsoil removal …
Natural and constructed inland waters emit globally significant amounts of greenhouse gasses (GHGs) into the atmosphere. As a result of human-induced alterations in the …
To combat the global loss of wetlands and their essential functions, the restoration and creation of wetlands is imperative. However, wetland development is challenging when soils …
With their net carbon accumulation determined by the balance between gross ecosystem productivity (GEP) and carbon losses (from processes such as oxidation and …

Rewetting drained peatlands for paludiculture purposes is a way to reduce peat oxidation (and thus CO 2 emissions) while at the same time it could generate an income for …
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 …
Paludiculture (crop cultivation on wet peatlands) is an effective means to reduce carbon emissions and nutrient losses from formerly drained peatlands. However, methane (CH4) …
