Subsidence of dredged organic sediments in cultivated peatlands

Subsidence of dredged organic sediments in cultivated peatlands

Many low-lying peatlands in delta areas undergo significant subsidence due to drainage for agricultural purposes. Subsidence may be attributed to shrinkage, consolidation or oxidation.
