This study seeks to investigate the role of Calluna vulgaris canopy height in the CO2 balance of ombrotrophic peatlands to address what implications this relationship may have for management of these peatlands for maximal carbon storage. This study u... Read More about Calluna vulgaris canopy height and blanket peat CO2 flux: Implications for management..

A 5-year study of the impact of peatland revegetation upon DOC concentrations (2014)
Journal Article

Peatlands are among the largest long-term soil carbon stores on the globe, but their degradation can lead to significant carbon losses. Therefore, restoration of peatlands has received considerable attention but the impact of revegetation upon critic...

Effects of managed burning in comparison with vegetation cutting on dissolved organic carbon concentrations in peat soils (2013)
Journal Article

Given the continuing concern about rising concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in stream water leaving peat-covered catchments, this study has considered the impact of managed burning or cutting of Calluna vulgaris, a dominant vegetation...

Restoration effects on water table depths and CO2 fluxes from climatically marginal blanket bog (2013)
Journal Article
Dixon, S., Qassim, S., Rowson, J., Worrall, F., Evans, M., Boothroyd, I., & Bonn, A. (2014). Restoration effects on water table depths and CO2 fluxes from climatically marginal blanket bog. Biogeochemistry, 118(1-3), 159-176. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10533-013-9915-4

This study aimed to measure the effects of ecological restoration on blanket peat water table depths and CO2 fluxes. The flux of CO2 and water table depths were measured on eight sites for five years. Results suggest that sites with revegetation alon...
