We reviewed the experimental evidence for long-term carbon (C) sequestration in soils as
consequence of specific forest management strategies. Utilization of terrestrial C sinks …

Peatlands occupy a relatively small fraction of the Earth's land area, but they are a globally
important carbon store because of their high carbon density. Undisturbed peatlands are …

Peatlands form important landscape elements in many parts of the world and play significant
roles for biodiversity and global carbon balance. This new edition has been fully revised and …

Peatlands represent large terrestrial carbon banks. Given that most peat accumulates in
boreal regions, where low temperatures and water saturation preserve organic matter, the …

Northern peatlands represent about 30% of the global soil C pools. The C pool in peat is a
result of a relatively small imbalance between production and decay. High water levels and …

Greenhouse gas emissions from managed peatlands are annually reported to the UNFCCC.
For the estimation of greenhouse gas (GHG) balances on a country-wide basis, it is …

Shifts in moss communities may affect the resilience of boreal ecosystems to a changing
climate because of the role of moss species in regulating soil climate and biogeochemical …

We estimated the soil CO2 balance of 68 forestry-drained boreal peatland sites in Finland by
subtracting the litter input to soil from the CO2 efflux from soil. We also measured soil …

Drained peatlands, especially nitrogen (N)-rich ones, are sources of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) to
the atmosphere. As this emission is largely caused by N mineralization in oxic peat soil …
