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 …

Northern peatlands represent important stocks of organic carbon (C). Peatland C dynamics
have the potential to influence atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and are …

Peatlands constitute major sinks of organic carbon (C) and play a key role in the global C
cycle. Here, we present a synthesis of peat records from six ecoclimatic regions in Québec …

Boreal and subarctic peatlands today represent a large global carbon (C) reservoir. Existing
models that describe organic matter accumulation in peatlands over thousands of years are …

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 …

Northern peatlands store~ 500 Pg of carbon (C); however, controls on the spatial distribution
of the stored C may differ regionally, owing to the complex interaction among climate …

Aim Persistent sinks of atmospheric CO2 in undisturbed peatlands are not included in future
projections of the global carbon budget. We aimed to explore possible responses of …

Peatlands of continental western Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) cover 365
157 km2 and store 48.0 Pg of carbon representing 2.1% of the world's terrestrial carbon …

Peatlands are one of the largest terrestrial stores of carbon. Carbon exchange in peatlands
is often assessed solely by measurement of contemporary fluxes; however, these fluxes …

The chapters consider some of these scale and geographi cal issues and also how we can
improve our understanding of key ecohydrological processes in peatlands and how they …
