In this Perspective, we put forward an integrative framework to improve estimates of land-
atmosphere carbon exchange based on the accumulation of carbon in the landscape as …

Peatlands store large amounts of terrestrial carbon and any changes to their carbon balance
could cause large changes in the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of the Earth's …

Global peatlands store more carbon than is naturally present in the atmosphere,. However,
many peatlands are under pressure from drainage-based agriculture, plantation …

Peatlands play important ecological, economic and cultural roles in human well-being.
Although considered sensitive to climate change and anthropogenic pressures, the spatial …

Drained organic soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the
atmosphere. Rewetting these soils may reduce GHG emissions and could also create …

Peatlands form important landscape elements in many parts of the world and play significant
roles for biodiversity and global carbon balance. This new edition has been fully revised and …

Peatlands occupy a relatively small fraction of the Earth's land area, but they are a globally
important carbon store because of their high carbon density. Undisturbed peatlands are …

Peatlands contain a large belowground carbon (C) stock in the biosphere, and their
dynamics have important implications for the global carbon cycle. However, there are still …

Agricultural drainage of organic soils has resulted in vast soil subsidence and contributed to
increased atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. The Sacramento‐San Joaquin …

Northern peatlands constitute a significant source of atmospheric methane (CH 4). However,
management of undisturbed peatlands, as well as the restoration of disturbed peatlands, will …
