Carbon fluxes from tropical peatlands : methane, carbon dioxide, and peatland subsidence
Tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia have sequestered carbon over thousands of years and are an important global carbon stock. In natural peat swamp forests, high water levels inhibit decomposition due to anoxic conditions. However, they are being rapidly deforested and drained, releasing stored …

Linking groundwater level fluctuations and water quality to vegetation and habitat condition in blanket bog ecosystems in Ireland
Understanding peatland hydrology and its interaction with the ecosystem as a whole has been relatively neglected until recent years. In the past, research has been more focused on raised bogs and blanket bogs have been somewhat neglected. This research aims to help bridge some gaps in knowledge …

Quantifying the Impact of Seismic Lines on Methane Release in a Treed Bog Ecosystem using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
Peatlands are extremely complex and sensitive ecosystems, capable of releasing vast amounts of methane in response to disturbance events. To date, little advancement has been made by researchers to quantify the impact of small-scale anthropogenic disturbances on these ecosystems, specifically …

Hydrologic Regime and Soil Property Interactions in a Forested Peatland
Globally, peatlands are vulnerable to degradation via drainage, with consequences for ecosystem structure and function such as increased fire vulnerability, soil oxidation, and altered vegetation composition. Peatland function is largely dependent on hydrologic regimes and their influences on the …
