Sulfate Mobility in Fen Peat and Its Impact on the Release of Solutes

Sea-level rise coupled with land subsidence from wetland drainage exposes increasingly large areas of coastal peatlands to seawater intrusion. Seawater contains high concentrations of sulfate (SO42−), which can alter the decomposition of organic matter thereby releasing organic and inorganic solutes...
