Climate change is identified as a major threat to wetlands. Altered hydrology and rising
temperature can change the biogeochemistry and function of a wetland to the degree that …

Pristine wetlands have high potential for mitigating climate change because of their large
carbon stocks. However, whether and where wetlands will act as a greenhouse gas sink or …

Wetlands cover a small portion of the world, but have disproportionate influence on global
carbon (C) sequestration, carbon dioxide and methane emissions, and aquatic C fluxes …

China has the third largest area of marshland in the world. Due to the effects of human
activities, marshland in China has been widely converted to built‐up land (BL) and cultivated …

Changes in the abundance of species—especially those that influence water and nutrient
dynamics, trophic interactions, or disturbance regime—affect the structure and functioning of …

We examine the carbon balance of North American wetlands by reviewing and synthesizing
the published literature and soil databases. North American wetlands contain about 220 Pg …

Data from long‐term ecosystem monitoring and research stations in North America and
results of simulations made with interpretive models indicate that changes in climate …

We examined rates of C, N, and P mineralization in soils from 16 northern Minnesota
wetlands that occur across an ombrotrophic–minerotrophic gradient. Soils were incubated at …

Northern peatlands play an important role globally in the cycling of C, through the exchange
of CO2 with the atmosphere, the emission of CH4, the production and export of dissolved …
