SSS8.7 | Forest Peatlands in Transition: Carbon, Hydrology, and Biodiversity Interactions
Forest Peatlands in Transition: Carbon, Hydrology, and Biodiversity Interactions
Convener: Ken Byrne | Co-convener: Bruna Lais LongoECSECS

This session explores the ecological, hydrological, and socio-economic dynamics of forest peatlands undergoing drainage, rewetting, or restoration. Topics include carbon dynamics, water table regulation, biodiversity shifts, and ecosystem service trade-offs under climate change and land-use pressures. We welcome contributions on carbon and GHG fluxes, biodiversity, water regulation, and wood production under changing climate and management regimes. Studies integrating monitoring, modeling, stakeholder engagement, and policy relevance are especially encouraged.
