Even though large extents of boreal peatlands are still in a pristine condition, especially in
North America, extensive areas have been affected by natural or anthropogenic …

Peatlands store large amounts of terrestrial carbon and any changes to their carbon balance
could cause large changes in the greenhouse gas (GHG) balance of the Earth's …

Terrestrial net CH 4 surface fluxes often represent the difference between much larger gross
production and consumption fluxes and depend on multiple physical, biological, and …

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 …

The aim of this overview paper is to analyse the inclusion and use of the ecosystem services
concept in scientific studies of degraded peatlands and peatland restoration. Publications …

Peatlands are a major natural source of atmospheric methane (CH4). Emissions from
Sphagnum‐dominated mires are lower than those measured from other mire types. This …

Peatlands are an important source of the atmospheric greenhouse gas methane (CH4).
Although CH4 cycling and fluxes have been quantified for many northern peatlands …

Wetlands, lakes and agricultural soils are important sources and sinks of the greenhouse
gas methane. The only known methane sink of biological nature is the oxidation by …

Northern peatlands represent a globally important stock of soil carbon and have acted as a
net sink of atmospheric CO2 throughout the Holocene. Disturbance for horticultural peat …

Nearly 5000 chamber measurements of CH4 flux were collated from 21 sites across the U
nited K ingdom, covering a range of soil and vegetation types, to derive a parsimonious …
