Methane (CH4) is produced in many natural systems that are vulnerable to change under a
warming climate, yet current CH4 budgets, as well as future shifts in CH4 emissions, have …

Global peatlands are a valuable but vulnerable resource. They represent a significant
carbon and energy reservoir and play major roles in water and biogeochemical cycles. Peat …

Salinization, a widespread threat to the structure and ecological functioning of inland and
coastal wetlands, is currently occurring at an unprecedented rate and geographic scale. The …

Wetland soils contain some of the highest stores of soil carbon in the biosphere. However,
there is little understanding of the quantity and distribution of carbon stored in our remaining …

Abstract About 5–10% of the world's land surface is currently wetland but possibly> 70% is
already destroyed or impaired. Conservation of these unique ecosystems lags progress in …

Wetland ecosystems provide an optimum natural environment for the sequestration and long-
term storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere, yet are natural sources of …

The global soil organic carbon (SOC) mass is relevant for the carbon cycle budget and thus
atmospheric carbon concentrations. We review current estimates of SOC stocks and mass …

Soil salinization caused by sea level rise threatens coastal agricultural soils and
geochemically important wetlands worldwide. The aim of this review is to outline expected …

Wetland area in agricultural landscapes has been heavily reduced to gain land for crop
production, but in recent years there is increased societal recognition of the negative …

Ecosystem services are becoming increasingly important and a reason to promote the
sustainable use of natural resources. Wetlands provide many valuable ecosystem services …
