Peatland Forestry
The book provides a review and synthesis of boreal mire ecosystems including peat soil properties, mire hydrology, carbon and nutrient cycling, and classification of mire sites. The emphasis, however, is on peatland forests as a renewable natural resource. The approach originated in northern Europe, because there, especially in Finland, operational scale forest drainage has a long tradition based on research aiming to maintain and increase wood production on peatlands. Whenever relevant, a closer look is also given to other countries in Europe, Canada, and the USA. The results of recent studies on different environmental effects of peatland forestry are also discussed in detail.

Peatland Restoration and Ecosystem Services
An interdisciplinary book tackling the challenges of managing peatlands and their ecosystem services in the face of climate change.
Tropical Peatland Ecosystems
This book is an excellent resource for scientists, political decision makers, and students interested in the impact of peatlands on climate change and ecosystem function, containing a plethora of recent research results such as monitoring-sensing-modeling for carbon–water flux/storage, biodiversity and peatland management in tropical regions. It is estimated that more than 23 million hectares (62 %) of the total global tropical peatland area are located in Southeast Asia, in lowland or coastal areas of East Sumatra, Kalimantan, West Papua, Papua New Guinea, Brunei, Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak and Southeast Thailand. Tropical peatland has a vital carbon–water storage function and ...

Silvicultural Consequences of Forest Harvesting on Peatlands
The degree of site damage that occurs during forest harvesting on peatlands is influenced by site type and harvesting method. This report presents quantitative information on site dammage and slash amounts on peatland cutovers by harvesting machinery. Plots used were commercial, peatland black spruce-dominated forest of FEC operational groups 11 and 12 (Ledum and Alnus/herb-poor) which had an understory well stocked with black spruce advance growth, all of which were located within 80 km of Kapsukasing, Ontario. The study was carried on from 1982-1984.
