| Abstract | Peatlands provide globally important ecosystem services
through climate and water regulation or biodiversity conservation. While
covering only 3% of the earth's surface, degrading peatlands are
responsible for nearly a quarter of carbon emissions from the land use
sector. Bringing together world-class experts from science, policy and
practice to highlight and debate the importance of peatlands from an
ecological, social and economic perspective, this book focuses on how
peatland restoration can foster climate change mitigation. Featuring a
range of global case studies, opportunities for reclamation and
sustainable management are illustrated throughout against the challenges
faced by conservation biologists. Written for a global audience of
environmental scientists, practitioners and policy makers, as well as
graduate students from natural and social sciences, this
interdisciplinary book provides vital pointers towards managing peatland
conservation in a changing environment.
