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 …

Streams, rivers, lakes, and other inland waters are important agents in the coupling of
biogeochemical cycles between continents, atmosphere, and oceans. The depiction of these …

Biofuel and bioenergy systems are integral to most climate stabilization scenarios for
displacement of transport sector fossil fuel use and for producing negative emissions via …

Recent projections of climatic change have focused a great deal of scientific and public
attention on patterns of carbon (C) cycling as well as its controls, particularly the factors that …

Peatlands cover only 3% of the Earth's land surface but boreal and subarctic peatlands store
about 15–30% of the world's soil carbon (C) as peat. Despite their potential for large positive …

Assessing the carbon storage capacity of terrestrial ecosystems is crucial for land
management and carbon reduction policymaking. There is still a knowledge gap regarding …

Inland water ecosystems dynamically process, transport, and sequester carbon. However,
the transport of carbon through aquatic environments has not been quantitatively integrated …

Northern peatlands contain up to 25% of the world's soil carbon (C) and have an estimated
annual exchange of CO2‐C with the atmosphere of 0.1–0.5 Pg yr− 1 and of CH4‐C of 10–25 …

Soils form the skin of the Earth's surface, regulating water and biogeochemical cycles and
generating production of food, timber, and textiles around the world. Changes in soil and its …

This paper reviews our current knowledge and understanding of carbon processes in the
terrestrial ecosystem with a view to reducing soil carbon losses by optimising land-use and …
