Recent advances and technical solutions for wetland restoration
Sort by:
Edited by Elina Oksanen, Mara Menella
In this session recent advances in wetland restoration will be presented. Wetland ecosystems have been deteriorating across Europe for centuries, e.g. due to large-scale drainage for agriculture and forestry, mining, peat production and other materials. Wetlands, especially mires, capture large amounts of carbon, and disturbances may lead to high greenhouse gas emissions. Global warming and changes in rainfall also lead to drying of wetlands, which increases greenhouse gas emissions and natural disasters. The conservation and restoration of wetlands is essential for achieving the climate and environmental objectives set at by the EU, and globally. A better understanding of wetland carbon dynamics is essential for effective mitigation of climate change, as is the development of measures that support conservation and restoration in different environments. The session includes presentations from ongoing EU/Horizon REWET project, where the best restoration strategies to maximise carbon storage capacity and reduce GHG emission of wetlands are being analysed and identified through seven Open Labs across Europe. The activities from several Open Labs will be presented, representing different geographical areas of Europe and types of wetlands.
