Establishing ecological baselines around a temperate Himalayan peatland
@article{ONeill2020EstablishingEB, title={Establishing ecological baselines around a temperate Himalayan peatland}, author={Alexander Robert O’Neill and Prem K. Chhetri and Bijoy Chhetri and Santosh Kumar Rana}, journal={Wetlands Ecology and Management}, year={2020}, volume={28}, pages={375-388} }
Temperate wetlands provide ecosystem services for Himalayan communities and are important targets for biological conservation. However, over the past decade, management activities around these sites have lagged due, in part, to limited baselines on their historical ecology and hydrologic dynamics. This article advances Himalayan wetland studies by reviewing available data from Khecheopalri, a temperate peatland located in the Sikkim Eastern Himalayas. Formed after the Last Glacial Maximum…
