Atmospheric CO₂sequestration in restored mined peatlands

James Michael Waddington; Kevin Warner Ecoscience 2001. doi:10.1080/11956860.2001.11682664

Other claims from this paper (12)

Observation Restored peatland GPmax exceeded natural peatland lawns by more than two times.
Observation Restored peatland GPmax was almost three times that of naturally regenerated peatland.
Observation Natural peatland hummock GPmax exceeded restored peatland GPmax.
Observation All sites were net atmospheric CO2 sources during the dry summer.
Observation mined peatland respiration was 398 g C m-2.
Observation restored peatland respiration was 169 g C m-2.
Observation natural peatland respiration was 138 g C m-2.
Intervention effect Restoration significantly decreased the atmospheric CO2 source by 229 g C m-2 during summer.
Mechanism 70% of the restored carbon source reduction was attributed to increase in gross ecosystem production.
Association Presence of Sphagnum mosses corresponded to a ~45% decrease in total respiration.
Mechanism Increasing soil moisture during restoration may lower soil respiration in abandoned mined peatlands.
Recommendation Restoration of abandoned mined peatlands may provide a biotic offset through greater carbon sequestration.
