The response of peatland carbon accumulation to climate can be complex, with internal
feedbacks and processes that can dampen or amplify responses to external forcing …

The Oligocene Ballymoney lignite in Northern Ireland is one of the thickest lignites in Europe
and provides the potential for comparing Holocene and pre-Holocene peatland evolution …

No other terrestrial biome stores carbon as efficiently as peatland. Covering 2-3% of global
land surface they are estimated to store as much as half the carbon contained in the …

Northern peatlands are an important component of the global carbon (C) cycle and have
been a net sink of atmospheric C during the Holocene. Under current climate warming …

Three different Scottish peat bogs were sampled, dated and analysed for carbon (C) and
nitrogen (N) concentrations. The mean long‐term apparent rate of C accumulation (LARCA) …

This paper provides information on the impact of recent climate change on carbon
sequestration in peatland systems in South West England. This is important because …

Understanding the ecohydrological responses of peatlands to climate change is particularly
challenging over the late Holocene owing to the confounding influence of anthropogenic …

Contemporary measurements of carbon (C) accumulation rates in peatlands around the
world often show the C sink to be stronger on average than at times in the past. Alteration of …

The retention of peatland carbon (C) and the ability to continue to draw down and store C
from the atmosphere is not only important for the UK terrestrial carbon inventory, but also for …

Peatlands are globally important ecosystems but many are degraded and some are eroding.
However, some degraded peatlands are undergoing apparently spontaneous recovery, with …
