Ombrotrophic peatlands (bogs) act as important terrestrial sinks of organic carbon (C).
These ecosystems are widespread in coastal maritime regions of eastern Canada. This …

Northern peatlands store vast amounts of carbon and changes in apparent carbon
accumulation rate (aCAR) in these areas, which include thawing permafrost, can provide …

Permafrost stores globally significant amounts of carbon (C) which may start to decompose
and be released to the atmosphere in form of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) as …

Anatural∼ 1450-yr global Holocene climate periodicity underlies a portion of the present
global warming trend. Calibrated basal radiocarbon dates from 71 paludified peatlands …

Peat and net carbon accumulation rates in two sub‐arctic peat plateaus of west‐central
Canada have been studied through geochemical analyses and accelerator mass …

About half of the global wetlands are located between 50-70 N, where climate change is
projected to be greater than other regions. More than 95% of northern wetlands are …

The carbon (C) accumulation histories of peatlands are of great interest to scientists, land
users and policy makers. Because peatlands contain more than 500 billion tonnes of C, an …

Peatlands after drainage and extraction are large sources of carbon (C) to the atmosphere.
Restoration, through re‐wetting and revegetation, aims to return the C sink function by re …

Peatlands cover approximately 12% of the Canadian landscape and play an important role
in the carbon cycle through their centennial‐to millennial‐scale storage of carbon under …

Peatlands in the northern hemisphere are important stores of soil carbon. The stability of
peatlands is therefore important for the preservation of a major terrestrial carbon store as …
