Tropical peatlands store around one-sixth of the global peatland carbon pool (105
gigatonnes), equivalent to 30% of the carbon held in rainforest vegetation. Deforestation …

Carbon fixed by vegetated coastal ecosystems (blue carbon) can mitigate anthropogenic
CO2 emissions, though its effectiveness differs with the spatial scale of interest. A literature …

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

Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N),
but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we …

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

Northern peatlands are an integral part of the global carbon cycle—a strong sink of
atmospheric carbon dioxide and source of methane. Increasing anthropogenic carbon …

Literature related to the carbon cycle and climate contains contradictory results with regard
to whether agricultural practices increase or mitigate emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) …

Globally, the amount of carbon stored in peats exceeds that stored in vegetation and is
similar in size to the current atmospheric carbon pool. Fire is a threat to many peat-rich …

Physical and chemical stabilisation mechanisms are now known to play a critical role in
controlling carbon (C) storage in mineral soils, leading to suggestions that climate warming …

The terrestrial biosphere is a key component of the global carbon cycle and its carbon
balance is strongly influenced by climate. Continuing environmental changes are thought to …
