DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9191
Abstract: Abstract Drainage has turned 650,000 km2 of peatlands worldwide into greenhouse gas sources. To counteract climate change, large‐scale rewetting is necessary while agricultural use of rewetted areas, termed paludiculture, is still possible. However, more information is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13157-020-01310-8
Abstract: Drainage of peatlands causes severe environmental damage, including high greenhouse gas emissions. Peatland rewetting substantially lowers these emissions. After rewetting, paludiculture (i.e. agriculture and forestry on wet peatlands) is a promising land use option. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2016.03.018
Abstract: Since disservices and the finite nature of agriculture on drained peatlands are increasingly recognised, land use options for wet or rewetted peatlands (paludiculture) are recommended as sustainable alternatives. Their economic viability at the farm level,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants12051045
Abstract: Measures mitigating the climate crisis, such as paludiculture, which is the agriculture on rewetted peatlands, are urgently needed. The cosmopolitan species Phragmites australis has the potential to be used in paludiculture worldwide but is known… read more here.
