Abstract. Forested tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia store at least 42 000 Million metric tonnes (Mt) of soil carbon. Human activity and climate change threatens the stability of this large pool which has been decreasing rapidly over the last few decades owing to deforestation, drainage and fire. In this paper we estimate the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions resulting from drainage of lowland tropical peatland for agricultural and forestry development which dominates the perturbation of the carbon balance in the region. Present and future emissions from drained peatlands are quantified using

Abstract:

The spatial variability of soil aeration (aerobic limit depth and oxygen diffusion rate (ODR)) among different drainage ditch spacings and at various distances from drainage ditches was examined at two peatlands drained for forestry in north-central Alberta. Drainage lowered mean water table levels (p < 0.001) at both peatlands. Lower water table levels within drained areas were associated with greater aerobic limit depths (p < 0.001) and greater ODR (p < 0.001 at Saulteaux River; p < 0.027 at Wolf Creek) compared with undrained areas of both peatlands.

Abstract:

In Bashkir Cis-Urals (Republic of Bashkortostan, Southern Urals region) more than 350 anthropogenically modified peatlands with a total area of over 47000 hectares have been identified. Most of these peatlands were drained. The peat extraction was most actively carried out in the forest-steppe areas in the first half of the 20th century. About 12000 hectares of these peatlands are used as hayfields, more than 7000 hectares – as pastures, the small areas are used for arable land. A significant part of the drained peatland areas are abandoned, and the systems of their drainage channels are not f

Abstract:

Abstract Indonesia aims to achieve a Forest and Other Land Use (FOLU) Net Sink by 2030. The greatest challenge lies in drained peatlands, significant sources of CO2 emissions from peat decomposition. Attaining net sink or net zero emissions from drained peatlands appears unattainable; thus, the primary goal is substantial emission reduction. The main intervention for peatland emission mitigation involves raising the water table as high as feasible, balancing agricultural productivity and local economic needs. A long-term strategy for emission reduction could involve implementing paludiculture

Abstract. Peatland management practices, such as drainage and restoration, have a strong effect on boreal peatland methane (CH4) fluxes. Furthermore, CH4 fluxes are strongly controlled by local environmental conditions, such as soil hydrology, temperature and vegetation, which are all experiencing considerable changes due to climate change. Both management practices and climate change are expected to influence peatland CH4 fluxes during this century, but the magnitude and net impact of these changes is still insufficiently understood.

Abstract. For centuries European peatlands have been degrading along with drainage, land use and climate changes. Increasing pressure on peatland ecosystems calls for a more cost-efficient method to indicate the current state of peatlands and the success of restoration efforts. Metabolic pathways in peatland soils are imprinted in stable isotope compositions due to differences in microorganism communities and their metabolic pathways. Therefore, we hypothesize that depth profiles of nitrogen stable isotope values provide a promising opportunity to detect peatland decomposition or restoration.

When a peatland is drained and cultivated, it behaves as a notable source of CO2. However, we lack temporally and spatially explicit estimates of carbon losses from cultivated peatlands.

This source surpassed the carbon accumulation by high-latitude undisturbed peatlands (36 to 47 Pg C). Carbon losses from the cultivation of northern peatlands are omi

However, the fate of this fluvial carbon export is uncertain, and its role as a trace metal carrier has never been investigated.

Abstract:

Abstract. In peatlands drained for forestry, the soil carbon (C) or carbon dioxide (CO2) balance is affected by both (i) higher heterotrophic CO2-C release from faster decomposing soil organic matter (SOM) and (ii) higher plant litter C input from more vigorously growing forests. This balance and other greenhouse gas (GHG) sinks and sources in managed lands are annually reported by national GHG inventories to the United Nations Climate Change Convention. In this paper, we present a revised, fully dynamic method for reporting the CO2 balance of drained peatland forest soils in Finland. Our meth

Abstract:

There are only a few studies focusing on the financial aspects of management regimes on peatland forests and even fewer studies investigating intensive management. Such studies, however, are urgently needed, particularly in Finland, where a considerable proportion of drained peatlands is reaching a phase requiring active management. An empirical data set derived from the 10th National Forest Inventory (NFI10) is applied for stand-level simulations (MOTTI stand simulator) until final cut. The data are a representative sample of the most common drained peatland site types and their current stand

Abstract. Northern peatlands cover approximately four million km2, and about half of these peatlands are estimated to contain permafrost and periglacial landforms, like palsas and peat plateaus. In northeastern Canada, peatland permafrost is predicted to be concentrated in the western interior of Labrador but is assumed to be largely absent along the Labrador Sea coastline. However, the paucity of observations of peatland permafrost in the interior, coupled with traditional and ongoing use of perennially frozen peatlands along the coast by Labrador Inuit and Innu, suggests a need for re-evalua

Abstract:

AbstractTropical peatlands are complex and globally-important ecosystems that are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic disturbances, primarily via agricultural development. Microbes in peatlands play important roles in governing overall ecosystem functions and sustenance, with specific population dynamics governing carbon sink or source dynamics. We determined phenotypic microbial community structures under forest, drained, burned and oil palm plantation peatlands, using phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) profiling. Communities were distinct under each land-use type, varied consistently with d

Abstract:

In the northern hemisphere, variability in hydrological conditions was suggested to increase as a consequence of climate warming, which may result in longer droughts than the area has experienced before. Due to their predominately anoxic conditions, peatlands are expected to respond to changes in hydrological conditions, such as successive drying and rewetting periods. As peatlands are rich in organic matter, any major changes in water table may influence the decomposition of it. The hydrological conditions may also influence release of nutrients from peat profiles as well as affect their tran

Carbon and GHG balances were determined for three peatlands in the western part of the Netherlands from 2005 to 2008 by considering spatial and temporal variability of emissions (CO2, CH4 and N2O).

Abstract. Conversion of tropical peatlands to agriculture leads to a release of carbon from previously stable, long-term storage, resulting in land subsidence that can be a surrogate measure of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. We present an analysis of recent large-scale subsidence monitoring studies in Acacia and oil palm plantations on peatland in SE Asia, and compare the findings with previous studies. Subsidence in the first 5 yr after drainage was found to be 142 cm, of which 75 cm occurred in the first year. After 5 yr, the subsidence rate in both plantation types, at average water table

Abstract:

AbstractAround 800 AD the peatlands around Amstelland were drained by two rivers. The ‘northern’ Amstel discharged surplus water directly into Lake Almere, which from the 12th century onwards was enlarged to form the Sudersee (in Dutch: Zuiderzee). The ‘southern’ Amstel was a near-abandoned westernmost arm of the River Vecht discharging the poorly drained borderland around the river Vecht into Lake Almere/the Sudersee. As part of the reclamation of peatlands associated with agricultural activities between the end of the 10th and the mid-13th centuries, the rivers were connected via a canal, th

ABSTRACTWe addressed how restoration of forestry-drained peatlands affects CH4-cycling microbes. Despite similar community compositions, the abundance of methanogens and methanotrophs was lower in restored than in natural sites and correlated with CH4emission. Poor establishment of methanogens may thus explain low CH4emissions on restored peatlands even 10 to 12 years after restoration.
