Wetland hydrological dynamics and methane emissions
Wetlands are the largest and most uncertain biological source of atmospheric methane, with
hydrological fluctuations exacerbating this uncertainty. Here we critically explore the …

Climate change drives a shift in peatland ecosystem plant community: implications for ecosystem function and stability
The composition of a peatland plant community has considerable effect on a range of
ecosystem functions. Peatland plant community structure is predicted to change under future …

Rapid net carbon loss from a whole‐ecosystem warmed peatland
To evaluate boreal peatland C losses from warming, novel technologies were used to
expose intact bog plots in northern Minnesota to a range of future temperatures (+ 0° C to+ …

Are greenhouse gas fluxes lower from ley or perennial fallow than from arable organic soils? A systematic review protocol
Background Cultivated peatlands are widespread in temperate and boreal climate zones.
For example, in Europe about 15% of the pristine peatland area have been lost through …

Effects of water level alteration on carbon cycling in peatlands
Globally, peatlands play an important role in the carbon (C) cycle. High water level is a key
factor in maintaining C storage in peatlands, but water levels are vulnerable to climate …

A decade of boreal rich fen greenhouse gas fluxes in response to natural and experimental water table variability
Rich fens are common boreal ecosystems with distinct hydrology, biogeochemistry and
ecology that influence their carbon (C) balance. We present growing season soil chamber …

Persistent carbon sink at a boreal drained bog forest
Drainage of peatlands is expected to turn these ecosystems into carbon sources to the
atmosphere. We measured carbon dynamics of a drained forested peatland in southern …

Effects of episodic flooding on the net ecosystem CO2 exchange of a supratidal wetland in the Yellow River Delta
Episodic flooding due to intense rainfall events is characteristic in many wetlands, which
may modify wetland‐atmosphere exchange of CO2. However, the degree to which episodic …

Responses of peatland vegetation to 15‐year water level drawdown as mediated by fertility level
Questions Peatland ecosystems are a globally important carbon storage that is predicted to
turn into a carbon source due to water level drawdown (WLD) associated with climate …
