Hydropower and irrigation are essential for achieving human development objectives and
for climate mitigation and adaptation. These sectors depend on the same grey infrastructure …

Abstract Peatlands cover only 3–4% of the Earth's surface, but they store nearly 30% of
global soil carbon stock. This significant carbon store is under threat as peatlands continue …

The wetland loss rate in Iran is faster than the global average. Comprehending the
shrinkage rate in Iranian wetlands and identifying the underlying drivers of these changes is …

Landscape changes resulting from anthropogenic activities and climate changes severely
impact surface water quality. A global perspective on understanding their relationship is a …

Human actions compromise the many life-supporting functions provided by the freshwater
cycle. Yet, scientific understanding of anthropogenic freshwater change and its long-term …

Inland wetlands are critical carbon reservoirs storing 30% of global soil organic carbon
(SOC) within 6% of the land surface. However, forested regions contain SOC-rich wetlands …

Freshwater wetlands have a disproportionately large influence on the global carbon cycle,
with the potential to serve as long-term carbon sinks. Many of the world's freshwater …

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 …

Humans have played a fundamental role in altering lake wetland ecosystems, necessitating
the use of diverse data types to accurately quantify long-term changes, identify potential …

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 …
