Evidence and attribution of the enhanced land carbon sink

S Ruehr, TF Keenan, C Williams, Y Zhou, X Lu… - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2023 - nature.com
Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus essential for …

The power of nature‐based solutions: how peatlands can help us to achieve key EU sustainability objectives

F Tanneberger, L Appulo, S Ewert… - Advanced …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Peatlands are lands with a peat layer at the surface, containing a large proportion of organic
carbon. Such lands cover≈ 1 000 000 km2 in Europe, which is almost 10% of the total …

Rewetting global wetlands effectively reduces major greenhouse gas emissions

J Zou, AD Ziegler, D Chen, G McNicol, P Ciais… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Carbon and nitrogen losses from degraded wetlands and methane emissions from flooded

Wildfire and degradation accelerate northern peatland carbon release

SL Wilkinson, R Andersen, PA Moore… - Nature Climate …, 2023 - nature.com
The northern peatland carbon sink plays a vital role in climate regulation; however, the
future of the carbon sink is uncertain, in part, due to the changing interactions of peatlands …

Recent climate change has driven divergent hydrological shifts in high-latitude peatlands

H Zhang, M Väliranta, GT Swindles… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including
permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century …

Tradeoff of CO2 and CH4 emissions from global peatlands under water-table drawdown

Y Huang, P Ciais, Y Luo, D Zhu, Y Wang, C Qiu… - Nature Climate …, 2021 - nature.com
Water-table drawdown across peatlands increases carbon dioxide (CO2) and reduces
methane (CH4) emissions. The net climatic effect remains unclear. Based on global …

[HTML][HTML] Hidden becomes clear: Optical remote sensing of vegetation reveals water table dynamics in northern peatlands

I Burdun, M Bechtold, M Aurela, G De Lannoy… - Remote Sensing of …, 2023 - Elsevier
The water table and its dynamics are one of the key variables that control peatland
greenhouse gas exchange. Here, we tested the applicability of the Optical TRApezoid Model …

Comparison of carbon and nitrogen accumulation rate between bog and fen phases in a pristine peatland with the fen‐bog transition

Q Yang, Z Liu, E Bai - Global Change Biology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Long‐term carbon and nitrogen dynamics in peatlands are affected by both vegetation
production and decomposition processes. Here, we examined the carbon accumulation rate …

Convergence of carbon sink magnitude and water table depth in global wetlands

J Li, M Jiang, J Pei, C Fang, B Li, M Nie - Ecology Letters, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Wetlands are strategic areas for carbon uptake, but accurate assessments of their
sequestration ability are limited by the uncertainty and variability in their carbon balances …
