Overview

This thesis investigates carbon stabilization through soil embankments in degraded peatlands, suggesting new management strategies for agriculture.

Key Points

  • The aim is to analyze how soil embankments affect the stability and distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) in degraded peatlands.
  • Comparative analysis of degraded peat profiles and adjacent backfilled profiles.
  • Assessment of SOC occurrence and distribution layers.
  • Examination of POM and MAOM fractions in soils.
  • Embankment likely creates an anthrosol, burying organic-rich peat under a carbon-poor cover.
  • SOC maximum is displaced deeper from approximately 60 cm to below 100 cm.
  • New mineral topsoil shows increased SOC in fine fractions, suggesting new stabilization pathways.
  • The physical protection by embankment maintains labile carbon at depth while stabilizing new carbon on the surface.
