A new paper in Geoderma, co-authored by Ecohydrology Research Group member Fereidoun Rezanezhad assesses the impact of peatland management on available water capacity and water storage of peatlands. This study illustrates how these water-related soil functions are linked to peat properties such as bulk density and how the peatland drainage causes the land subsidence and peat degradation, which reduce the water storage.
This paper is published as part of collaboration between the Ecohydrology Research Group and Baltic TRANSCOAST program at Rostock University in Germany. The paper can be accessed here.
