Peatlands play a crucial role in carbon storage, but drainage and climate change-induced hydrological changes drivers degrade peat soils, followed by negative vertical displacement of the soil surface, referred to literature as subsidence. Assessing peatland subsidence is an important indicator status that allows development peatlands be revealed over given period. However, traditional methods are limited their applicability large inaccessible peatlands. In this study, we introduce remote...
The proper functioning of peatlands depends on maintaining an adequate groundwater table, which is essential for ecosystem services beyond water retention. Most degraded have been drained agriculture or forestry primarily through ditch construction. Rewetting blocking the most common initial step in peatland restoration. This study analyzed hydrological response to three raised bogs Norway (Aurstadmåsan, Midtfjellmåsan and Kaldvassmyra) using a Before–After–Control–Impact (BACI) design....
Peatlands are the “kidneys” of river basins. However, intensification agriculture and forestry in Europe has resulted degradation peatlands their biodiversity (i.e., species, habitats processes ecosystems), thus impairing water retention, nutrient filtration, carbon capture. Restoration requires assessment patterns processes, spatial planning. To support strategic planning protection, management, restoration peatlands, we assessed conservation status three peatland types within trans-border...
Large-scale management, protection, and restoration of wetlands require knowledge their hydrology, i.e., the status dynamics groundwater table, which determine evolution wetland ecosystem, its conservation value, possible economic use. Unfortunately, in many cases, hydrological monitoring data are unavailable, resulting search for a proxy average annual depth level (GWL). This study presents an approach to estimating mean GWL peatlands using Bayesian belief network (BBN) model, leveraging...
Peatlands are vital ecosystems that provide essential ecological services, especially in carbon storage. Nevertheless, the decomposition of surface peat and subsequent emission threaten to accelerate pace climate change. This study presents a framework designed facilitate estimation subsidence relevant CO2 emissions through exclusive utilization remote sensing techniques. In this study, peatland Biebrza Valley, Poland, was estimated by using Alaska Satellite Facility Interferometry Synthetic...
Mires are one of the systems, which highly affected by climate change. At same time, they main sources greenhouse gases (GHG) such as methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Considering that hydrological patterns remain major factors affecting these emissions likely to be change, GHG fluxes may altered well. Whereas majority studies focused on direct from peat or mire surface waters, less in known about processes groundwater flow especially relation transfer GHG-rich ecosystems. The...
Abrupt global warming poses threats to hydrological cycles and peatland ecosystem development. Northern peatlands, such as palsa mires, experience prompt degradation due disappearing ice cores caused by increasing air temperatures changes in precipitation patterns that induce the development of thicker snow covers insulating existing impair their Disappearing mires are experiencing subsidence, which turn is flattening topography changing hydration. What's more, shape position cause local...
Abstract This study presents an analysis of peatland surface height changes in the Biebrza Valley, Poland, using Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF) Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) on-demand cloud computing via Small Baseline Set (SBAS) technique and seasonal-annual search approach. The dataset covers period from April 2015 to 2022. findings reveal a consistent rate subsidence, calculated be 1.25 cm per year, which was validated through field surveys. statistical demonstrates...
The presence of water in a peatland determines its proper functioning and is prerequisite for provision ecosystem services other than retention. Since the majority degraded peatlands were drained agriculture through construction ditches, most common first step restoration rewetting drain-blocking. aim this study was to analyze hydrological response three independent raised bogs Norway (Aurstadmåsan, Midtfjellmosen Kaldvassmyra) ditch-blocking. as well drain-blocking efficiency...
Proper peatland functioning depends on a suitable water level, and this is also prerequisite for the provision of ecosystem services beyond retention. The majority degraded peatlands have been drained agriculture forestry through construction ditches, most common initial step in restoration-oriented management rewetting ditch-blocking. This field-monitoring-based study aimed to analyze hydrological response three independent raised bogs Norway (Aurstadmåsan, Midtfjellmåsan, Kaldvassmyra)...
