Methane (CH4) is produced in many natural systems that are vulnerable to change under a
warming climate, yet current CH4 budgets, as well as future shifts in CH4 emissions, have …

Globally, forests represent highly productive ecosystems that act as carbon sinks where soil
organic matter is formed from residuals after biomass decomposition as well as from …

Leaf litter and deadwood have important roles in the forest ecosystems, providing shelter for
several organisms, preventing erosion and microclimate fluctuations. Their decomposition is …

Globally, the amount of carbon stored in peats exceeds that stored in vegetation and is
