Tropical peatlands and their contribution to the global carbon cycle and climate change
Peatlands are carbon‐rich ecosystems that cover 185–423 million hectares (Mha) of the
earth's surface. The majority of the world's peatlands are in temperate and boreal zones …

Degradation of Southeast Asian tropical peatlands and integrated strategies for their better management and restoration
About half of the world's tropical peatlands occur in Southeast (SE) Asia, where they serve
as a major carbon (C) sink. Nearly 80% of natural peatlands in this region have been …

Tropical peatland carbon storage linked to global latitudinal trends in peat recalcitrance
Peatlands represent large terrestrial carbon banks. Given that most peat accumulates in
boreal regions, where low temperatures and water saturation preserve organic matter, the …

Effects of water level alteration on carbon cycling in peatlands
Globally, peatlands play an important role in the carbon (C) cycle. High water level is a key
factor in maintaining C storage in peatlands, but water levels are vulnerable to climate …

How temporal patterns in rainfall determine the geomorphology and carbon fluxes of tropical peatlands
Tropical peatlands now emit hundreds of megatons of carbon dioxide per year because of
human disruption of the feedbacks that link peat accumulation and groundwater hydrology …
