Here, we present results from the most comprehensive compilation of Holocene peat soil
properties with associated carbon and nitrogen accumulation rates for northern peatlands …

Peatlands are a major terrestrial carbon store and a persistent natural carbon sink during the
Holocene, but there is considerable uncertainty over the fate of peatland carbon in a …

Peatlands contain a large belowground carbon (C) stock in the biosphere, and their
dynamics have important implications for the global carbon cycle. However, there are still …

This paper proposes a novel approach using basal peat ages and carbon (C) accumulation
profiles from the world's major peatland regions to decompose C flux terms from time …

Northern peatland ecosystems have cycled and stored substantial amounts of global land
carbon (C) over the Holocene (the last 11,700 years). Today, peatlands are one of the …

The West Siberian Lowland (WSL) contains the world's most extensive peatlands and a
substantial fraction of the global terrestrial carbon pool. Despite its recognition as a carbon …

In this review paper, we identify and address key uncertainties related to four local and
global controls of Holocene northern peatland carbon stocks and fluxes. First, we provide up …

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 …

Peatland ecosystems store about 500–600 Pg of organic carbon, largely accumulated since
the last glaciation. Whether they continue to sequester carbon or release it as greenhouse …

Northern peatlands are an integral part of the global carbon cycle—a strong sink of
atmospheric carbon dioxide and source of methane. Increasing anthropogenic carbon …
