Abstract The Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Changing Environments (SPRUCE) experiment has operated five whole‐ecosystem warming manipulations (+0, +2.25, +4.5, +6.75, +9°C) with paired ambient elevated CO 2 atmospheres (eCO , +500 ppm) for 8 full calendar years (since August 2015). We tracked shrub‐layer vegetation responses to the treatments using annual destructive plot sampling. Tree ( Picea Larix ) were assessed annually nondestructive dimensional analyses allometric conversions.

This systematic literature review (SLR) provides a comprehensive overview of remote sensing (RS) applications in northern peatlands from 2017 to 2022, utilising various platforms, including situ, UAV, airborne, and satellite technologies. It addresses the challenges limitations presented by sophisticated nature peatland ecosystems. SLR reveals an in-creased focus on mapping, monitoring, hydrology but identifies noticeable gaps degradation research. Despite benefits sensing, such as extensive spatial coverage consistent persist, high costs, underexplored areas, hyperspectral data application. Fusing with on-site research offers new insights for regional studies. However, arise issues like cost high-resolution data, limitations, inadequate field validation areas. suggests refining methodologies, validating addressing these future

Abstract Peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Sphagnum mosses (peat mosses) are considered to be peatland ecosystem engineers and contribute accumulation ecosystems. As cold‐adapted species, dominance of peatlands will threatened by climate warming. The response change is closely related future trajectory fluxes peatlands. However, impact on habitat suitability scale poorly understood. To predict potential distribution mosses, we used MaxEnt model geographic six species that dominate (2050 2070) under two greenhouse gas emission scenarios (SSP1‐2.6 SSP5‐8.5). results show mean temperature coldest quarter, precipitation driest month, topsoil calcium carbonate main factors affecting availability mosses. warms, tend migrate northward. suitable abundance increase extensively high‐latitude boreal (north 50°N) decrease large beyond peatland. southern edge would experience greatest decline richness with rising risk area for transition from sink source. spatial–temporal pattern changes simulated this study provide reference development management conservation strategies bogs.

Abstract Peatland restoration has been suggested as a key method for the UK to meet national, legally binding climate targets. This can involve blocking up drainage ditches or erosion features, well encouraging regeneration of peatland vegetation through Sphagnum reintroduction removal scrub trees. It is unclear, however, how suitable future conditions will be both peat accumulation and survival. We applied three bioclimatic envelope models blanket bogs in Britain assess likely deviate from current conditions, focussing on four national parks with significant area (Dartmoor, Flow Country, Peak District Snowdonia). also assessed likelihood thresholds being passed at which irreversible desiccation moss may occur. Our use updated projections (bias‐corrected UKCP18 under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 2.6, 4.5 8.5) that are more accurate upland regions occur, bog occurrence tailored Britain. gives us higher confidence results compared previous models. show substantial losses areas by 2061–2080 all RCPs.

Due to the rapid development of urbanization, land-use types have changed greatly, which has led many ecological problems. Therefore, current research objective is solve problems in existence Jinan, so as determine existing landscape risks and optimize structure. Using 2 m high-resolution remote sensing images related natural economic data, this study evaluated risk constructed a full-factor network Jinan with assessment method (ERI) minimum cumulative resistance model (MCR) based on ecology theory. The results showed that: (1) ERI presented spatial concentration high value areas central central–eastern regions, while other levels distribution around regions risk. (2) important corridors were mainly distributed south stable not easily destroyed. secondary, passing through cultivated land urban greenways, unstable susceptible interference.
