Resilient bogs: peat moss feedbacks as the key to restoration success
Start a new DMP in Loading
Peatlands are essential for climate mitigation and host unique biodiversity. Peat moss builds the peat and shapes its habitat through traits that emerge only when mosses grow together. Accelerated global peatland degradation makes restoration urgent. I will examine patch-sizes in rewetted bogs with drones to contrast this with experiments, test the drought resistance and resilience of differing moss clusters and species in a greenhouse experiment, and investigate how peat moss spatial configuration affects establishment and expansion in a rewetted bog with a field experiment. This research builds the foundation for innovative restoration designs for these vital ecosystems.
