- In an era of high uncertainty, rapid environmental change, and increased recognition of the coupling of social and ecological systems, it is clear that there are limitations to current peatland policy and governance. As policy goals, and biophysical, social and political conditions differ between locations, the governance of peatlands needs to be tailored to each national, regional, and local context. This governance must also be adjusted for the needs and interests of the human populations and other species that depend upon these habitats. The adoption of gender-responsive approaches that take into account the needs of both women and men especially those from lower socioeconomic status, are thus crucial if we are to make progress towards environmental sustainability.This chapter reviews a range of policy and governance instruments that can halt further degradation and destruction of peatlands and facilitate their conservation, restoration and sustainable management.

Interlaboratory study of the operational stability of automated sorption balances

- Automated sorption balances are widely used for characterizing the interaction of water vapor with hygroscopic materials. These instruments provide an efficient way to collect sorption isotherm data and kinetic data. A typical method for defining equilibrium after a step change in relative humidity (RH) is using a particular threshold value for the rate of change in mass with time. Recent studies indicate that commonly used threshold values yield substantial errors and that further measurements are needed at extended hold times as a basis to assess the accuracy of abbreviated equilibration criteria. However, the mass measurement accuracy at extended times depends on the operational stability of the instrument. Published data on the stability of automated sorption balances are rare. An interlaboratory study was undertaken to investigate equilibration criteria for automated sorption balances. This paper focuses on the mass, temperature, and RH stability and includes data from 25 laboratories throughout the world. An initial target for instrument mass stability was met on the first attempt in many cases, but several instruments were found to have unexpectedly large instabilities. The sources of these instabilities were investigated and greatly reduced. This paper highlights the importance of verifying operational mass stability of automated sorption balances, gives a method to perform stability checks, and provides guidance on identifying and correcting common sources of mass instability.
