| Résumé : |
This synopsis reports the effects of interventions to conserve, restore or create peatland vegetation. Studies in this synopsis may test interventions to conserve whole peatland plant communities or to conserve selected defining species within those communities.
The main vegetation types covered in the synopsis are bogs, fens, fen meadows and tropical peat swamps . We include studies of fen meadows, as long as they are on wet peaty soils, because they share many species with fens and might be the only realistic target for restoration of severely degraded fens. Studies that restore or create peat-forming vegetation on non-peat soils are also within the scope of the synopsis, because these areas might develop into peatlands in the future. Non-English names for peatlands within the scope of the synopsis include tourbières, bas marais (French), turberas, bofedales, pomponales (Spanish), hochmooren, niedermooren (German), turvemaat (Finnish), torvmarken (Swedish) and torfjaniky (Russian) Evidence from all around the world is included. Peatlands cover around 1–3% of the world’s surface (depending on how they are defined) with particularly large areas in Canada, Russia, Northern Europe, South East Asia and the Congo Basin (Joosten Dargie et al. 2017; Xu et al. 2018). Any apparent bias in this synopsis towards evidence from some regions reflects biases in the known distribution of peatlands and available published research |
