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/s11104-019-04269-6
Abstract: Root distributions determine crop nutrient access and soil carbon input patterns. To date, root distribution data are rare but needed to improve knowledge and prediction of cropping system sustainability. In this study, we sought to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16508
Abstract: A small imbalance in plant productivity and decomposition accounts for the carbon (C) accumulation capacity of peatlands. As climate changes, the continuity of peatland net C storage relies on rising primary production to offset increasing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gwat.12934
Abstract: In arid northwestern China, as many inland areas around the world with arid or semi-arid climate, inland river flow recharges groundwater; vegetation pattern depends on the water table, which characterizes the landscapes of oasis, transition… read more here.
