Background Peatlands are expected to experience sustained yet fluctuating higher
temperatures due to climate change, leading to increased microbial activity and greenhouse …

Aims Slow decomposition and isolation from groundwater mean that ombrotrophic
peatlands store a large amount of soil carbon (C) but have low availability of nitrogen (N) …

Peatlands are diverse wetland ecosystems distributed mostly over the northern latitudes and
tropics. Globally they store a large portion of the global soil organic carbon and provide …

Globally, major efforts are being made to restore peatlands to maximise their resilience to
anthropogenic climate change, which puts continuous pressure on peatland ecosystems …

Permafrost peatlands are a huge carbon pool that is uniquely sensitive to global warming.
However, despite the importance of peatlands in global carbon sequestration and …

Peatlands account for a significant fraction of the global carbon stock. However, the complex
interplay of abiotic and biotic factors governing anaerobic carbon mineralization in response …

The decomposition rate of plant residues is determined by both abiotic (temperature,
moisture) and biotic factors (biochemical composition). To separate the contribution of each …

Deep learning has contributed to major advances in the prediction of protein structure from
sequence, a fundamental problem in structural bioinformatics. With predictions now …

Organic compounds are widely used for paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental
reconstructions. Bulk organic proxies, however, are more complicated to interpret due to the …

Abstract pH is one of the major parameters governing peat functioning, and pH variations in
modern peatlands affect carbon and methane production and consumption. Paleo-pH …
