Controversial opinions have been put and different parties and experts have emphasised their points of view with the latest research data, historical evidence and statistics. It seems that there is lack of fundamental cooperation on an international level to coordinate research efforts.

  • Hydrological Self-Regulation of Domed Peatlands in South-East Asia and Consequences for Conservation and Restoration
    Hydrological self-regulation of domed peatlands in south-east Asia and consequences for conservation and restoration R. Dommain, J. Couwenberg and H. Joosten Institute of Botany and Landscape Ecology, Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University, Greifswald, Germany _______________________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY This article explores the hydrological constraints on the existence of forested peat domes (peat swamp forests) in the humid tropics, the self-regulation mechanisms that enable them to persist and the implications for restoration of damaged domes. The most important requirement for the preservation of peat is permanent saturation by water. The variable input of precipitation must be translated into a constant water supply to the peat mound. In intact tropical peat swamp domes, water is stored above the peat surface in depressions between hummocks that surround tree trunks and between spreading buttress roots. This above-ground water store is analogous to the water stored in the loose upper layer of peat and vegetation in Sphagnum bogs. The horizontal differentiation of the peat swamp forest floor into hummocks with limited hydraulic conductivity and depressions with high storage capacity resembles the hummock-hollow patterning of these Sphagnum bogs. Hummocks and other surface elements functionally resemble V-notch weirs that regulate water availability. Buttressed trees play a key role in providing the structural elements for hydrological self-regulation. An additional level of regulation is found in the concentric zonation of forest types with increased presence of buttressed trees on steeper margins. Conservation and restoration efforts should take into account the inter- relationships between trees, water and peat and the hydrological feedbacks that operate as a consequence.

  • Ecosystem Characteristics and Distribution of Wetlands in Boreal and Alpine Landscapes in Northern Sweden Under Climate Change
    9 Main Ecosystem Characteristics and Distribution of Wetlands in Boreal and Alpine Landscapes in Northern Sweden Under Climate Change J. Jeglum, S. Sandring, P. Christensen, A. Glimskär, A. Allard, L. Nilsson and J. Svensson Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Sweden 1. Introduction Wetlands and peatlands are integral parts of many of the world’s biomes, forming important transition zones between upland and aquatic systems. These habitats have a high degree of complexity of hydrology, edaphic conditions, and vegetation composition, contributing to the biodiversity of landscapes and species richness. They act to influence and modify the movement of runoff and groundwater from uplands into streams and lakes, by laying down organic remains (peats), and absorbing and releasing elements, compounds, gases, and particulate and dissolved organic matter. They therefore act as hydrological water retainers and biological filters in the landscape. Many kinds of wetlands and peatlands can be found, each with a particular hydrology and surface form, moisture and chemical regime, and range of vegetation types and associated biota. Owing to their hydrological characteristics, predominantly peat soils and hydrophytic plants, wetlands and peatlands are key habitats to indicate climate change, particularly changes towards drying (e.g., decreased precipitation, increased runoff from melting glaciers and snow pack). Changes in moisture regime will effect changes in the processes of peat accumulation and decomposition, release of nutrients and dissolved organic matter, and vegetation and species. Drainage for agriculture and forestry, peat harvesting, and development have already caused considerable areas of peatlands to decrease in depth and area. Owing to drying, some peatlands adjacent to uplands have decreased in depth to less than 30 cm, the defined depth for peatlands in Sweden, and thus the total area of peatland has decreased.

  • Wetlands-Different Types, Their Properties and Functions
    Technical Report TR-04-08 Wetlands – different types, their properties and functions Erik Kellner Dept of Earth Sciences/Hydrology Uppsala University August 2003 Wetlands – different types, their properties and functions Erik Kellner Dept of Earth Sciences/Hydrology Uppsala University August 2003 Keywords: Bog, Wetlands, Mire, Biosphere, Ecosystem, Hydrology, Climate, Process. This report concerns a study which was conducted for SKB. The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the author and do not necessarily coincide with those of the client. A pdf version of this document can be downloaded from www.skb.se Summary In this report, different Swedish wetland types are presented with emphasis on their occurrence, vegetation cover, soil physical and chemical properties and functions. Three different main groups of wetlands are identified: bogs, fens and marshes. The former two are peat forming environments while the term ‘marshes’ covers all non-peat forming wetlands. Poor fens are the most common type in Sweden but (tree-covered) marshes would probably be dominating large areas in Southern Sweden if not affected by human activity such as drainage for farming. Fens and bogs are often coexisting next to each other and bogs are often seen to be the next step after fens in the natural succession. However, the development of wetlands and processes of succession between different wetland types are resulting from complicated interactions between climate, vegetation, geology and topography. For description of the development at individual sites, the hydrological settings which determine the water flow paths seem to be most crucial, emphasizing the importance of geology and topography.

This article analyses the condition and protection status of European mire ecosystems. The overview is based on the system of European mire regions, representing regional variety and ecosystem biodiversity. We combined peatland distribution data with land cover maps of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service as well as with the World Database on Protected Areas to assess the extent of degraded peatlands and the proportion of peatlands located in protected areas in each European mire region. The total proportion of degraded peatlands in Europe is 25%; within Citation: Tanneberger, F.; Moen, A.; the EU it is 50% (120,000 km2).
