Biogeomorphic wetlands cover 1% of Earth's surface but store 20% of ecosystem organic
carbon. This disproportional share is fueled by high carbon sequestration rates and effective …

Coal, coal measure gas, coal conversion to oil and gas, and coal-based new materials are
reliable guarantees for stable energy supply and economic and social development in …

Tropical peatlands store around one-sixth of the global peatland carbon pool (105
gigatonnes), equivalent to 30% of the carbon held in rainforest vegetation. Deforestation …

A detailed spatial inventory of the extent and depth distribution for tropical peatlands is not
currently available; however, there is a critical need for new detailed peatland information at …

Peatlands are carbon-rich ecosystems that cover just three per cent of Earth's land surface,
but store one-third of soil carbon. Peat soils are formed by the build-up of partially …

Globally, the amount of carbon stored in peats exceeds that stored in vegetation and is
similar in size to the current atmospheric carbon pool. Fire is a threat to many peat-rich …

Wetland ecosystems provide an optimum natural environment for the sequestration and long-
term storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere, yet are natural sources of …

Peatlands are a significant component of the global carbon (C) cycle, yet despite their role
as a long-term C sink throughout the Holocene, they are increasingly vulnerable to …

Accurate inventory of tropical peatland is important in order to (a) determine the magnitude
of the carbon pool;(b) estimate the scale of transfers of peat‐derived greenhouse gases to …

Here we present a new data synthesis of global peatland ages, area changes, and carbon
(C) pool changes since the Last Glacial Maximum, along with a new peatland map and total …
