Degradation of peatlands through land-use change and drainage is currently responsible for
5-10% of global annual anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, restoring …

In this Perspective, we put forward an integrative framework to improve estimates of land-
atmosphere carbon exchange based on the accumulation of carbon in the landscape as …

The forested swamps of the central Congo Basin store approximately 30 billion metric
tonnes of carbon in peat,. Little is known about the vulnerability of these carbon stocks. Here …

We investigated recent changes in spatial patterning of fen and bog zones in five boreal
aapa mire complexes (mixed peatlands with patterned fen and bog parts) in a multiproxy …

Peatlands are a globally important carbon store, but peatland ecosystems from high
latitudes to the tropics are highly degraded due to increasingly intensive anthropogenic …

Peatlands store large amounts of carbon (C), a function potentially threatened by climate
change. Peatlands composed of vascular cushion plants are widespread in the northern and …

Long‐term carbon and nitrogen dynamics in peatlands are affected by both vegetation
production and decomposition processes. Here, we examined the carbon accumulation rate …

Fire events in tropical peatlands often relate to dry peat conditions associated with climate
variability (drought) and anthropogenic-driven ecosystem degradation. However, drought is …

Recent amplified climate warming in the Arctic has caused profound changes in terrestrial
ecosystems, with the potential for strong feedback on climate change. Arctic tundra …

Peatland carbon accumulation generally increased during past intervals of natural warming.
With recent anthropogenically-dominated warming being unprecedented over the past∼ …
