Abstract Peatlands cover only 3–4% of the Earth's surface, but they store nearly 30% of
global soil carbon stock. This significant carbon store is under threat as peatlands continue …

The Zoige peatlands are the largest peatland area in China, and the largest high‐altitude
peatland in the world. As with many peatlands worldwide, degradation from land …

Substantial amounts of money have been invested in peatland restoration over the last
decades to address the current challenges of global changes and to enhance biodiversity …

Stover-covered no-tillage (NT) is of great significance to the rational utilization of stover
resources and improvement of cultivated land quality, and also has a profound impact on …

Drained peatlands, especially nitrogen (N)-rich ones, are sources of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) to
the atmosphere. As this emission is largely caused by N mineralization in oxic peat soil …

Agricultural peatlands are estimated to emit approximately one third of global greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions from croplands, but the temporal dynamics and controls of these …

Globally, organic soils of natural and semi-natural ecosystems have been considered as an
important source of atmospheric nitrous oxide (N 2 O), a powerful greenhouse gas …

Of all terrestrial ecosystems, peatlands store carbon most effectively in long-term scales of
millennia. However, many peatlands have been drained for peat extraction or agricultural …

Hydrophysical properties of peat influence the partitioning of rainfall into infiltration versus
runoff, determine water flow and solute transport patterns, and regulate the carbon and …

Scientific findings since the 1980s indicate conventional agriculture (CONVA) accounts for 8
to 12% of US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, or 23% of the country's total anthropogenic …
