Amazonian peatlands store a large amount of soil organic carbon (SOC), and its fate under
a future changing climate is unknown. Here, we use a process-based peatland …

Widespread establishment of peatlands since the Last Glacial Maximum represents the
activation of a globally important carbon sink, but the drivers of peat initiation are unclear …

Among the largest uncertainties in current projections of future climate is the feedback
between the terrestrial carbon cycle and climate. Northern peatlands contain one-third of the …

Although tropical peatlands are said to be globally significant carbon sinks that store large
amounts of carbon, the data on which this information is based are subject to uncertainty …

Peatlands are ecosystems of exceptional conservation value because of their beauty,
biodiversity, importance in global geochemical cycles, and the paleoenvironmental records …

Meter for meter, peatlands store more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Covering
only about 3% of Earth's land area, they hold the equivalent of half of the carbon that is in the …

The development of northern high-latitude peatlands played an important role in the carbon
(C) balance of the land biosphere since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). At present, carbon …

Peatlands act as global sinks of atmospheric carbon (C) through the accumulation of organic
matter, primarily made up of decay-resistant litter of peat mosses. However, climate warming …

Northern peatlands constitute an important component of the global carbon (C) cycle due to
their long-term accumulation of soil organic matter. This function as a carbon sink is partly …

Peatlands worldwide play a vital role in biosphere biogeochemical processes (Immirzi et al.,
1992). The majority of the world's peatlands by area occur in boreal and temperate zones …
