Who gets a seat at the table in environmental decision making and who is left out? 🧪🌍 The 3i framework: A new approach to stakeholder analysis, beyond traditional methods, considering not only interest and influence, but also impact. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #wetlands #policy
A presentation-style graphic titled “Analyzing who is relevant to engage in environmental decision-making processes by interests, influence and impact: The 3i framework,” authored by M.S. Reed and multiple co-authors. The background shows a softly blurred forest scene.

Below the title is a table labeled “Typology of relevant parties that should be included in engagement processes.” The table categorizes stakeholder types based on three factors: interest, influence, and impact, each rated as low or high.

The rows list different stakeholder groups, including “uninterested,” “uninterested and impacted,” “uninterested influencers,” and “uninterested, influential and impacted,” as well as “only interested,” “interested and impacted,” “interested influencers,” and “interested, influential and impacted.” Each category is matched with combinations of low or high interest, influence, and impact.

Peatland restoration is essential for climate mitigation but understanding its costs and benefits is just as important. New #publication alert 📕🧪🌎 Developing marginal abatement cost curves for peatland restoration www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Title slide reading “Developing marginal abatement cost curves for peatland restoration,” authored by Daniel Urban, Michael MacLeod, Klaus Glenk, Vera Eory, Daniel Fletcher, and Florian Payen. The background shows a blurred peatland landscape with trees and water.

Below the title is a chart illustrating a marginal abatement cost curve (MACC). The vertical axis shows cost-effectiveness in dollars per ton of CO₂ equivalent, ranging from negative values (cost savings) up to very high positive costs. The horizontal axis shows greenhouse gas mitigation potential in kilotons of CO₂ equivalent.

Several bars extend across the chart. On the left, smaller bars fall below zero, indicating low-cost or cost-saving mitigation measures such as improved breeding, fertility, and feed efficiency. Toward the middle, additional measures with modest costs appear. On the right, larger bars rise sharply above zero, representing higher-cost interventions like covering lagoons, dietary changes, and advanced technologies.

A horizontal line marks the “Social Cost of Carbon,” indicating a benchmark for cost-effectiveness. The figure caption notes that this is an example MACC for UK dairy mitigation measures. The “WET HORIZONS” logo appears in the bottom right corner.

Northern wetlands are among the largest natural sources of methane (CH₄), yet accurately simulating these emissions remains a major challenge. New #Publication www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Slide titled “Assessing modelled methane emissions over northern wetlands by the JULES–HIMMELI model,” followed by a list of authors. The graphic explains how methane emissions are simulated by combining the JULES land surface model with the HIMMELI methane model. A diagram shows JULES providing inputs such as leaf area index, water table depth, soil temperature, and soil respiration. These inputs feed into the HIMMELI model, which simulates methane production, oxidation, and transport through processes such as plant transport, diffusion, and ebullition within peat layers, alongside oxygen and carbon dioxide interactions. The background image shows a wetland landscape with water and vegetation, and the Wet Horizons logo appears at the bottom.

Are expanding northern peatlands cooling or warming the climate? It depends on how they develop🧪 This study combines paleoecology, remote sensing and hydrological modelling to examine peatland expansion and vegetation succession in a subarctic fen margin in Lapland bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/...
Slide titled “External and internal drivers behind the formation, vegetation succession, and carbon balance of a subarctic fen margin,” followed by a list of authors. Below the title are two side-by-side color maps labeled (a) and (b) showing a subarctic peatland area. The left map illustrates spatial patterns of exchange flux with a color scale ranging from blue (low/negative values) to red (high/positive values). The right map shows differences in groundwater table (GWT) levels, with colors ranging from blue (lower values) to yellow and red (higher values). Legends identify peatland types such as fens, bogs, and treed fens, and both maps include a north arrow and scale bar. The Wet Horizons logo appears at the bottom

Peatlands cover only 3% of Denmark’s land area, yet drained peat soils account for around 25% of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Finding viable alternatives is therefore critical. 🧪🌎 www.wethorizons.eu/resources/#s... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Infographic titled “Site-dependent carbon and greenhouse gas balances of five fen and bog soils after rewetting and establishment of Phalaris arundinacea paludiculture.” The graphic compares carbon balance results from five Danish peatlands during the first year after rewetting and reed canary grass cultivation. On the left, fens are shown as greenhouse gas sinks with a negative global warming potential (−4.7 ± 1.9 t CO₂-eq ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹). On the right, bogs are shown as greenhouse gas sources with a positive global warming potential (5.3 ± 1.3 t CO₂-eq ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹). Supporting diagrams highlight soil properties (TN, bulk density, pH) influencing biomass growth, with a small bar chart indicating higher biomass production in fens than in bogs. Background image shows a peatland landscape with pools and low vegetation.
