Draining peatlands for forestry in the northern hemisphere turns their soils from carbon sinks
to substantial sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs). To reverse this trend, rewetting has …

The ability to accurately assess the impact of organic soil drainage on greenhouse gas
emissions (GHG) is still limited. Methane (CH4) emissions are characterized by significant …

Peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon (C) cycle, making their restoration a key
strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and retaining C. This study …

The impact of the moisture regime on the carbon budget of organic soils with different
nutrient statuses has not been fully studied in hemiboreal forests thus far. This study …

The reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change mitigation are global
issues. Peatlands in Europe are widely distributed in the Nordic–Baltic region, and Baltic …

Assessments of net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in forest land with drained organic
soils conducted within the scope of National GHG inventories requires reliable data on litter …

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 …

We compiled published peer-reviewed CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 O data on drained organic forest
soils in boreal and temperate zones, to revisit the current Tier 1 default emission factors …

Purpose We sought to identify the effects of elevationally (1560− 2160 m) driven climate
(mean annual air temperatures of+ 4.0 to+ 10 oC and mean annual precipitation of 900 …

Drainage of peatlands increases the depth of the oxic peat layer and can turn them into a
carbon (C) source to the atmosphere. Afforestation of drained peatlands could help to …
