Climate warming is leading to permafrost thaw in northern peatlands, and current
predictions suggest that thawing will drive greater surface wetness and an increase in …

Northern peatlands have accumulated large carbon (C) stocks since the last deglaciation
and during past millennia they have acted as important atmospheric C sinks. However, it is …

Most northern peatlands developed during the Holocene, sequestering large amounts of
carbon in terrestrial ecosystems. However, recent syntheses have highlighted the gaps in …

The majority of northern peatlands were initiated during the Holocene. Owing to their mass
imbalance, they have sequestered huge amounts of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems …

Vegetation shifts in circum-Arctic permafrost peatlands drive feedbacks with important
consequences for peatland carbon budgets and the extent of permafrost thaw under …

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 …

Permafrost peatlands contain globally important amounts of soil organic carbon, owing to
cold conditions which suppress anaerobic decomposition. However, climate warming and …

Permafrost dynamics play an important role in high‐latitude peatland carbon balance and
are key to understanding the future response of soil carbon stocks. Permafrost aggradation …

Permafrost peatlands are found in high-latitude regions and store globally-important
amounts of soil organic carbon. These regions are warming at over twice the global average …

Subarctic permafrost peatlands are important soil organic carbon pools, and improved
knowledge about peat properties and peatland sensitivity to past climate change is essential …
