Peatlands mapping and monitoring
Author: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251322953
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Integration of peatlands into land-use monitoring systems is central to the conservation of their carbon storage – be they conserved, degraded or restored. Healthy peatlands mitigate climate change, enhance adaptive capacity and maintain ecosystem services and biodiversity. Albeit peatlands are starting to receive a high level of attention and the scientific basis for their monitoring has quickly developed over the last few years. Robust and practical approaches and tools for developing and integrating peatland-monitoring into national monitoring and reporting frameworks is an important opportunity for countries to limit global warming to 2 °C.
Boreal Peatland Ecosystems
Author: R.K. WiederPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540319131
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
This is the first truly ecosystem-oriented book on peatlands. It adopts an ecosystems approach to understanding the world's boreal peatlands. The focus is on biogeochemical patterns and processes, production, decomposition, and peat accumulation, and it provides additional information on animal and fungal diversity. A recurring theme is the legacy of boreal peatlands as impressive accumulators of carbon as peat over millennia.
