To evaluate boreal peatland C losses from warming, novel technologies were used to
expose intact bog plots in northern Minnesota to a range of future temperatures (+ 0° C to+ …

Boreal peatlands contain approximately 500 Pg carbon (C) in the soil, emit globally
significant quantities of methane (CH 4), and are highly sensitive to climate change …

Boreal peatlands represent globally important long term sinks of carbon; however,
horticultural peat extraction disrupts this carbon sink function, converting these ecosystems …

The ongoing warming in high‐latitude regions may be causing rapid changes in the
structure and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Of particular concern is the fate of …

Restoration of peatlands after peat extraction could be a benefit to the climate system.
However a multi-year ecosystem-scale assessment of net carbon (C) sequestration is …

Boreal peatlands in Canada have harbored relict permafrost since the Little Ice Age due to
the strong insulating properties of peat. Ongoing climate change has triggered widespread …

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 …

Peatlands comprise a globally important carbon pool whose input–output budgets may be
significantly altered by climate change. To experimentally determine the sensitivity of the …

Peatlands contain one-third of the world's soil carbon (C). If destabilized, decomposition of
this vast C bank could accelerate climate warming; however, the likelihood of this outcome …

Projected changes in climate could shift northern peatlands from their current status as net C
sinks toward that of being net C sources by changing soil temperatures and hydrology. We …
