Paludiculture as a sustainable land use alternative for tropical peatlands: A review
Peatlands cover approximately 4.2 million km 2 of terrestrial land surface and store up to
700 Pg of terrestrial carbon. Preserving the carbon stocks in peatland is therefore crucial for …

Multi-decadal trends and variability in burned area from the 5th version of the Global Fire Emissions Database (GFED5)
Long-term records of burned area are needed to understand wildfire dynamics, assess fire
impacts on ecosystems and air quality, and improve fire forecasts. Here we fuse multiple …

Insights and issues with estimating northern peatland carbon stocks and fluxes since the Last Glacial Maximum
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 …

Climate-induced Arctic-boreal peatland fire and carbon loss in the 21st century
Boreal peatlands are increasingly vulnerable to wildfires as climate change continues
accelerating. Fires consume substantial quantities of organic soils and rapidly transfer large …
