Browning of surface waters, as a result of increasing dissolved organic carbon and iron
concentrations, is a widespread phenomenon with implications to the structure and function …

It is widely recognised that wetlands play an important role in the hydrological cycle,
influencing groundwater recharge, low flows, evaporation and floods. This has led to …

Freshwaters of the boreal and temperate regions have experienced increased browning
during the last decades. Browning, or brownification, is mostly driven by increased organic …

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays a central role in the dynamics of stream and river
ecosystems, affecting processes such as metabolism, the balance between autotrophy and …

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in surface waters have increased across
much of E urope and N orth A merica, with implications for the terrestrial carbon balance …

There is concern that ecosystem services provided by blanket peatlands have come under
threat due to increasing degradation. Blanket peatlands are subject to a wide range of …

The Zoige peatlands are the largest peatland area in China, and the largest high‐altitude
peatland in the world. As with many peatlands worldwide, degradation from land …

Globally, peatlands play an important role in the carbon (C) cycle. High water level is a key
factor in maintaining C storage in peatlands, but water levels are vulnerable to climate …

Over the past 15 years there has been a proliferation of projects aiming to restore the
structure and function of UK upland blanket mires, primarily by revegetation of bare peat and …

Degradation by drainage threatens biodiversity and globally important peatland ecosystem
functions such as long-term carbon sequestration in peat. Restoration aims at safeguarding …
