Peatlands are wetlands that provide important ecosystem services including carbon
sequestration and water storage that respond to hydrological, biological, and …

In this review paper, we identify and address key uncertainties related to four local and
global controls of Holocene northern peatland carbon stocks and fluxes. First, we provide up …

Northern boreal peatlands are important ecosystems in modulating global biogeochemical
cycles, yet their biological communities and related carbon dynamics are highly sensitive to …

Wildfire is the most common disturbance type in boreal forests and can trigger significant
changes in forest composition. Waterlogging in peatlands determines the degree of tree …

Climate warming has inevitable impacts on the vegetation and hydrological dynamics of
high-latitude permafrost peatlands. These impacts in turn determine the role of these …

Dating approaches for fine sediment tsunami deposits can be divided into two categories:(1)
dating directly using materials from within a tsunami deposit, and (2) dating indirectly using …

Peatland ecosystems are important carbon sinks, but also release carbon back to the
atmosphere as carbon dioxide and methane. Peatlands therefore play an essential role in …

High latitude peatlands act as globally important carbon (C) sinks and are in constant
interaction with the atmosphere. Their C storage formed during the Holocene. In the course …

Climate warming is leading to permafrost thaw in northern peatlands, and current
predictions suggest that thawing will drive greater surface wetness and an increase in …

Attributing the start of peat growth to an absolute timescale requires dating the bottom of
peat deposits overlying mineral sediment, often called the basal peat. Peat initiation is …
