From landscape to freshwater invertebrates: understanding the effects of peatland restoration on Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) habitat in the Flow Country
Peatlands are critical ecosystems that contribute to carbon storage, biodiversity, and water quality regulation. However, they have been severely impacted by various anthropogenic activities, including burning, drainage, over-grazing, and afforestation with non-native conifer plantations. These …

Carbon Dynamics in Extracted Minerotrophic Peatlands: An Analysis of the Effect of Plant Biodiversity
… to alter the diversity of vegetation and convert peatlands from net sinks to persistent sources of carbon to the atmosphere. Peatland restoration has been shown to re‐establish the natural carbon sink function, however, current restoration techniques could be refined with more knowledge of the …

A Bog Approach: An Ethnography, Or, An Anthropology Of Climate Emergency
… site of the UK’s large scale “forest-to-bog” peatland restoration project, one of the few “natural climate solutions” enacted and institutionalized. My fieldwork (2017-2018) approached a boggy, yet “neutral,” “Net Zero” discourse that might confound traditional environmentalist positions. My …

Carbon budget of a drained peatland in Western Iceland and initial effects of rewetting
Northern peatlands store vast amounts of organic carbon in their soils. They play an important role in the context of climate change, as they act as a valuable key source and sink for all the main greenhouse gases. In their natural stage, peatlands act as sinks of atmospheric CO2 and sources of …

Monitoring Peatland Damage and Restoration Using Testate Amoebae as Indicator Organisms
… the response of testate amoebae communities to restoration at three peatland sites in the UK. It builds upon the use of testate amoebae analysis as a palaeoenvironmental tool by exploring the hypothesis that testate amoebae respond to hydrological conditions in restored mires. Previous research …

Evaluating blanket mire vegetation recovery following hydrological restoration, with specific focus on the influence of Molinia caerulea
… ecological processes involved in passive blanket peatland vegetation restoration following hydrological rewetting and evaluates the role of Molinia caerulea tussock development as a barrier to blanket mire vegetation establishment. Using data collected from restoration pools and terrestrial peat …

An Isotopic Analysis of Carbon Dynamics in Sphagnum Peat
Methane and carbon dioxide produced in peatlands can be held temporarily in dissolved surface waters and accessible to aquatic plants. The primary peat building plant in northern peatlands, Sphagnum moss, grows in these dissolved carbon rich waters. Understanding Sphagnum carbon cycles is key for …

Dissolved organic carbon and colour dynamics in drained and restored blanket peat
Peatlands are important terrestrial stores of carbon and a principal source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the fluvial environment. Whilst often regarded as a net carbon sink, enhanced DOC concentrations and an associated rise in the level of water discolouration observed in many artificially …
