Northern peatlands form a major soil carbon (C) stock. With climate change, peatland C
mineralization is expected to increase, which in turn would accelerate climate change. A …

Abstract Changes in vegetation and soil properties following permafrost degradation and
thermokarst development in peatlands may cause changes in net carbon storage. To better …

A bstract Climate change is predicted to bring about a water level (WL) draw-down in boreal
peatlands. This study aimed to assess the effect of WL on the carbon dioxide (CO 2) …

This study uses a 12-year time series (2001–2012) of eddy covariance measurements to
investigate the long-term net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and inter …

As potential outcomes of climate change, we examined the effects of environmental warming
and drying on instantaneous CO2, CH4 and N2O fluxes in three sedge fens situated in the …

Peatlands at high latitudes have accumulated> 400 Pg carbon (C) because saturated soil
and cold temperatures suppress C decomposition. This substantial amount of C in Arctic and …

Northern peatlands hold large amounts of organic carbon (C) in their soils and are as such
important in a climate change context. Blanket bogs, ie nutrient-poor peatlands restricted to …

Peatland ecosystems have been consistent carbon (C) sinks for millennia, but it has been
predicted that exposure to warmer temperatures and drier conditions associated with climate …

The carbon (C) storage of northern peatlands is equivalent to~ 34–46% of the~ 795 T g C
currently held in the atmosphere as CO2. Most studies report that northern peatlands are a …

Peatlands have acted as net CO2 sinks over millennia, exerting a global climate cooling
effect. Rapid warming at northern latitudes, where peatlands are abundant, can disturb their …
