Scat‐Tered Evidence. Understanding the Diet of Forest‐Associated Mammalian Mesopredators in a UK Peatland Ecosystem
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71961
Abstract: ABSTRACT Peatland ecosystems and the unique biodiversity they support are under risk from multiple stressors, including changes in species interactions. Land use changes that lead to increases in the density and activity of mammalian mesopredators… read more here.

Lake–mire ecosystem transformation and its possible forcing mechanisms in volcanic landform regions: a case study in the Gushantun peatland of northeast China
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.4956
Abstract: Large numbers of peatlands were developed in volcanic landform regions, which would provide valuable long‐term records of lake–mire ecosystem shifts and act as significant carbon pool in regional carbon cycle. To investigate lake–mire ecosystem transformations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/saj2.70010
Abstract: Around 30% of peatland in Nordic and Baltic countries has been drained for forestry. Drained peatlands are major sources of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nutrients to surface waters, contributing to global warming, eutrophication, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10493-018-0332-1
Abstract: We investigated oribatid mite communities in a Sphagnum-dominated boreal peatland system characterised by a mosaic of oligotrophic and meso-eutrophic areas. We aimed to determine the relative importance of environmental factors (pH, Sphagnum nutrient content, water… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10841-024-00589-w
Abstract: The two main goals of peatland restoration are habitat improvement and climate change mitigation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from damaged peatlands and providing a net carbon sink. The biodiversity of specialist peatland species is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10933-019-00081-5
Abstract: The composition of Chironomidae communities and the ecological significance of such assemblages in peatlands have received little attention, especially in subtropical alpine regions. We report on the spatial distribution of subfossil chironomids and environmental controls… read more here.

Crediting peatland rewetting for carbon farming: some considerations amidst optimism
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change"
DOI: 10.1007/s11027-025-10203-2
Abstract: Peatland drainage is worldwide a major human-induced greenhouse (GHG) source and rewetting increasingly considered a silver bullet to not only reverse the climate burden of peatland management, but also recover other ecosystem functions. Peatland rewetting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11056-024-10090-6
Abstract: As the clearcutting of peatland forests is known to cause harmful consequences especially for the water environment, there is increasing interest in alternative natural regeneration methods. We studied the regeneration stocking development on a southern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11769-018-1000-4
Abstract: To examine the effects of microtopography on the stoichiometry of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in mosses along the hummock-hollow gradient in boreal peatlands, we investigated species-level C׃N, C׃P and N׃P ratios of… read more here.
