Biogeomorphic wetlands cover 1% of Earth's surface but store 20% of ecosystem organic
carbon. This disproportional share is fueled by high carbon sequestration rates and effective …

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 …

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 …

As reflected in the ecosystem approach, conservation strategies for the natural environment
are responding to society's needs and the changing climate. Ecosystem assessments …

Peatlands provide many important ecosystem services, including water regulation,
biodiversity conservation, and carbon sequestration and storage. To safeguard these …

Tropical peatlands contain one of the largest pools of terrestrial organic carbon, amounting
to about 89,000 teragrams (1 Tg is a billion kilograms). Approximately 65 per cent of this …

Peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon (C) cycle, making their restoration a key
strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and retaining C. This study …

Climate change in the UK is expected to cause increases in temperatures, altered
precipitation patterns and more frequent and extreme weather events. In this review we …

To meet the challenge of proactive ecosystem-based climate mitigation and adaptation, new
sources of funding are needed. Peatlands provide the most efficient global store of terrestrial …

Peatlands are unique habitats that are covering around 3% of the land area and they are
characterized by high sensitivity to climate. These very complex ecosystems impact both …
