release carbon to the atmosphere and enhance climate warming. Using a coupled model of …

Carbon storage and potential methane production in the Hudson Bay Lowlands since mid-Holocene peat initiation

MS Packalen, SA Finkelstein, JW McLaughlin - Nature communications, 2014 - nature.com
Peatlands have influenced Holocene carbon (C) cycling by storing atmospheric C and
