泥炭地は最大の陸上炭素貯蔵庫であるが、定義の不統一が炭素ストック推定と回復戦略に影響を与える。本研究は混合手法で、最小泥炭深と有機炭素含有量の2つのパラメータが定義を左右し、分類の不整合を生むことを示す。将来の定義は炭素貯蔵能力と温室効果ガス排出ポテンシャルを優先すべきであり、国際的な調和が急務である。

Peatlands are the largest terrestrial carbon store, but inconsistent definitions hinder carbon accounting and restoration. Using mixed methods, this study identifies minimum peat depth and organic carbon content as key parameters causing classification inconsistencies. It argues for prioritizing carbon storage capacity and GHG emission potential in future definitions, calling for a globally harmonized framework.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では泥炭地は限定的だが、北海道などでの湿原保全や炭素貯留の観点で関連。SSBJ開示における自然関連情報や生物多様性への関心が高まる中、炭素会計の精度向上に寄与する可能性がある。
In the global GX context
Globally, this study informs climate mitigation policies and carbon accounting standards, particularly under frameworks like the Paris Agreement and TNFD. It highlights the need for standardized definitions to improve restoration effectiveness and GHG reporting, relevant for ISSB and CSRD disclosures.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Peatlands are carbon-rich ecosystems that represent the largest terrestrial carbon store and play a critical role in climate regulation. However, increasing human disturbances have significantly degraded peatlands, making their restoration a global priority. Despite its importance, efforts to estimate global peat carbon stocks remain constrained by the lack of standardized definitions of peatlands. This study aims to examine how variations in peatland definitions influence long-term ecosystem restoration strategies. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative survey data and qualitative interviews with local stakeholders. The analysis integrates descriptive statistics and thematic coding to capture both measurable patterns and contextual insights. The findings identify two key parameters shaping peatland definitions: minimum peat depth and minimum organic carbon content. Variability in these criteria leads to significant inconsistencies in peatland classification, which in turn affect restoration priorities and carbon accounting. The study highlights that future peatland definitions should prioritize carbon storage capacity and potential greenhouse gas emissions. Critical attributes include peat thickness, spatial extent, carbon concentration, and bulk density, which collectively determine volumetric carbon stocks. These findings underscore the need for a globally harmonized peatland definition framework to improve restoration effectiveness and strengthen climate change mitigation policies.
