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 …

Peatlands contain a large belowground carbon (C) stock in the biosphere, and their
dynamics have important implications for the global carbon cycle. However, there are still …

Here, we present results from the most comprehensive compilation of Holocene peat soil
properties with associated carbon and nitrogen accumulation rates for northern peatlands …

Here we present a new data synthesis of global peatland ages, area changes, and carbon
(C) pool changes since the Last Glacial Maximum, along with a new peatland map and total …

The terrestrial biosphere is a key regulator of atmospheric chemistry and climate. During
past periods of climate change, vegetation cover and interactions between the terrestrial …

Energy security and sustainability are undeniably the main concerns in combatting climate
change. While an immediate call for all-green and renewable energy seems to be …

Peatlands are a major terrestrial carbon store and a persistent natural carbon sink during the
Holocene, but there is considerable uncertainty over the fate of peatland carbon in a …

This paper proposes a novel approach using basal peat ages and carbon (C) accumulation
profiles from the world's major peatland regions to decompose C flux terms from time …

The majority of northern peatlands were initiated during the Holocene. Owing to their mass
imbalance, they have sequestered huge amounts of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems …

The climates on the eastern Tibetan Plateau are strongly influenced by direct insolation
heating as well as monsoon-derived precipitation change. However, the moisture and …
