Subsidence and carbon loss in drained tropical peatlands

A Hooijer, S Page, J Jauhiainen, WA Lee, XX Lu… - …, 2012 - bg.copernicus.org
Conversion of tropical peatlands to agriculture leads to a release of carbon from previously

Agricultural peatland restoration: effects of land‐use change on greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) fluxes in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta

SH Knox, C Sturtevant, JH Matthes… - Global change …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Agricultural drainage of organic soils has resulted in vast soil subsidence and contributed to
increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. The Sacramento‐San Joaquin …

Assessing the carbon and climate benefit of restoring degraded agricultural peat soils to managed wetlands

KS Hemes, SD Chamberlain, E Eichelmann… - Agricultural and Forest …, 2019 - Elsevier
Restoring degraded peat soils presents an attractive, but largely untested, climate change
mitigation approach. Drained peat soils used for agriculture can be large greenhouse gas …

Greenhouse gas (CO2, CH4, H2O) fluxes from drained and flooded agricultural peatlands in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta

JA Hatala, M Detto, O Sonnentag, SJ Deverel… - Agriculture, ecosystems …, 2012 - Elsevier
The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in California was drained and converted to agriculture

Accuracy and precision of tidal wetland soil carbon mapping in the conterminous United States

JR Holmquist, L Windham-Myers, N Bliss, S Crooks… - Scientific reports, 2018 - nature.com
Tidal wetlands produce long-term soil organic carbon (C) stocks. Thus for carbon accounting
purposes, we need accurate and precise information on the magnitude and spatial …
