Little is known about the long-term expansion of mire ecosystems, despite their importance
in the global carbon and hydrogeochemical cycles. It has been firmly established that mires …

Peatlands at high latitudes have accumulated> 400 Pg carbon (C) because saturated soil
and cold temperatures suppress C decomposition. This substantial amount of C in Arctic and …

Northern peatlands represent one of the largest biospheric carbon reservoirs in the world.
Their southern margins act as new carbon reservoirs, which can greatly influence the global …

The spatiotemporal variability of groundwater level is an important property of peatland
hydrology that directly alternates water storage. Nonetheless, the current understanding of …

Here we address the combined impact of multiple stressors that are becoming more
common with climate change. To study the combined effects of a lower water table (WT) and …

Harvesting of plantation conifers on peatlands is carried out as part of restoration and
forestry operations. In particular, in the UK and Ireland, conifer plantations on drained …

Understanding the dynamic changes in peatland area during the Holocene is essential for
unraveling the connections between northern peatland development and global carbon …

Ombrotrophic peatlands are important long-term sinks for atmospheric carbon as plant
productivity exceeds litter decomposition. Changes in plant community composition may …

NATURE GEOSCIENCE changes are typically apparent in palaeoecological data. However,
when calculating carbon flux and sink from a smoothed age model, strong biases are …

Data rescue in the geosciences is a field of rapidly growing interest (Wyborn et al., 2015).
Data that has been collected in the past is often referred to as 'legacy'data (Griffin, 2015; …
