A high-resolution fen peat record and 79 basal peat dates from paludified peatlands in
continental western Canada provide evidence for cyclic change in moisture conditions and …

Northwestern Canada is currently warming nearly four times faster than the global average,
driving accelerated permafrost thaw and changes to ecosystem vegetation, hydrology and …

Northern peatland ecosystems have cycled and stored substantial amounts of global land
carbon (C) over the Holocene (the last 11,700 years). Today, peatlands are one of the …

Peatlands represent the largest and most concentrated carbon pool in the terrestrial
biosphere, and their dynamics during the Holocene have had significant impacts on the …

This paper proposes a novel approach using basal peat ages and carbon (C) accumulation
profiles from the world's major peatland regions to decompose C flux terms from time …

Understanding the processes controlling peatland carbon (C) sequestration is critical to
anticipate potential changes in the global C cycle in response to climate change. Although …

Northern peatlands occupy approximately 4% of the global land surface and store about
30% of the global soil carbon (C). A compilation of C accumulation rates in northern …

Average long-term apparent rates of carbon (C) accumulation (LARCA) were estimated for
four peat cores from Arctic and Subarctic Canada. Detailed analyses of dry bulk-density and …

Understanding the long-term ecological dynamics of northern peatlands is essential for
assessment of the possible responses and feedbacks of these carbon-rich ecosystems to …

Northern peatlands have accumulated large carbon (C) stocks since the last deglaciation
and during past millennia they have acted as important atmospheric C sinks. However, it is …
