Tropical peatlands store around one-sixth of the global peatland carbon pool (105
gigatonnes), equivalent to 30% of the carbon held in rainforest vegetation. Deforestation …

Abstract Purpose of Review Despite covering only 3% of the land surface, peatlands
represent the largest terrestrial organic carbon stock on the planet and continue to act as a …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

There is an increasing recognition that, although the climate change and biodiversity crises
are fundamentally connected, they have been primarily addressed independently and a …

The large-scale vegetation restoration project on the Loess Plateau increased the
ecosystem carbon (C) stocks and affected C budget in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The …

Soil provides a multitude of services that are essential to a healthily functioning biosphere
and continuity of the human race, such as feeding the growing human population and the …

The northern peatland carbon sink plays a vital role in climate regulation; however, the
future of the carbon sink is uncertain, in part, due to the changing interactions of peatlands …

Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil
carbon (C) over thousands of years. Maintaining the C sink function of these peatlands and …

Degradation of peatlands through land-use change and drainage is currently responsible for
5-10% of global annual anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, restoring …

Methane emissions from boreal and arctic wetlands, lakes, and rivers are expected to
increase in response to warming and associated permafrost thaw. However, the lack of …
