The 37 pages that link to Peatland, each with the reason it gives.

• WetlandBroader topic: Draining peat-forming wetlands can release stored carbon and increase fire risk.

• Boreal forestRelated: Boreal peatlands hold carbon and provide distinct habitat within the forest region.

• Palm oilRelated: Draining peatlands for plantations releases stored carbon and increases fire risk.

• Carbon sinkBroader topic: Peatlands preserve carbon-rich organic matter for millennia when they remain wet.

• PeatCompared with: Peat is the material; peatland is the ecosystem and landscape in which it forms.

• BryophyteRelated: Bryophytes, especially Sphagnum, help create and maintain many peatlands.

• WaterloggingRelated: Persistent saturation creates the low-oxygen conditions that preserve plant material.

• MossRelated: Moss growth, especially Sphagnum, helps build peat and store carbon.

• Container gardeningRelated: Peat is used in many potting mixes, while harvesting it can damage carbon-storing wetland ecosystems.

• Oil palmRelated: Draining peatlands for plantations releases stored carbon and increases fire risk.

• Wetland drainageNarrower topic: Peatlands show how drainage can turn a long-term carbon store into a carbon source.

• SphagnumNarrower topic: Sphagnum-rich peatlands are ecosystems built around the moss's growth and decay.

• Forest soilCompared with: Waterlogged forested peatlands accumulate thick organic deposits rather than ordinary well-aerated soil profiles.

• KalimantanRelated: Drained peatlands in Kalimantan dry out, release stored carbon, and burn readily.

• PodzolRelated: Podzols can occur near peatlands, where drainage and organic inputs alter soil formation.

• Raised bogNarrower topic: This broader landform group includes raised bogs and other peat-forming ecosystems.

• Subantarctic climateRelated: Cool, persistently wet conditions favor peat formation on many subantarctic islands.

• West Siberian PlainNarrower topic: The plain’s extensive peatlands store carbon and shape regional hydrology.

• CyperaceaeRelated: Sedge species are common peatland plants and contribute to peat-forming vegetation.

• PoalesRelated: Sedges and other Poales plants help build and sustain many peat-forming wetlands.

• South KalimantanRelated: Peat ecosystems in the province store carbon and are vulnerable to drainage and fire.

• VacciniumRelated: Cranberries and some other Vaccinium species are cultivated or harvested in peatland environments.

• CarexRelated: Sedge communities, including Carex, contribute to vegetation and carbon cycling in many peatlands.

• RiauRelated: Extensive peat soils in Riau are vulnerable to drainage, fire, and plantation development.

• West KalimantanNarrower topic: West Kalimantan’s peatlands are vulnerable to drainage, fire, and carbon emissions.

• Central KalimantanNarrower topic: The province’s peatlands underpin its hydrology and land-use challenges.

• Hudson Bay LowlandsNarrower topic: Peatlands cover extensive areas of the Hudson Bay Lowlands.

• DroseraceaeRelated: Peatland drainage and degradation threaten habitats used by several Droseraceae species.

• Great Dismal SwampNarrower topic: The swamp’s deep peat is the product of this wetland-forming process.

• Picea marianaRelated: Black spruce commonly grows in nutrient-poor peatlands and bogs.

• Vasyugan SwampNarrower topic: The Vasyugan Swamp is a vast example of this broader wetland type.

• AcidobacteriotaBroader topic: Acidobacteriota occur in these often acidic, carbon-rich environments.

• Boreal forest of CanadaRelated: Peatlands occupy extensive boreal areas and store carbon while shaping fire behavior.

• BryologyRelated: Bryophytes, especially peat mosses, shape peat formation and carbon storage.

• BryopsidaRelated: Moss communities help build peatland habitats and influence their carbon storage.

• Congolian rainforestsNarrower topic: Peat soils beneath some Congolian forests retain exceptionally large carbon stores.

• Upper Taz Nature ReserveRelated: Peat-forming wetlands are among the habitats protected in the basin.
