Deep instability of deforested tropical peatlands revealed by fluvial organic carbon fluxes
Tropical peatlands contain one of the largest pools of terrestrial organic carbon, amounting
to about 89,000 teragrams (1 Tg is a billion kilograms). Approximately 65 per cent of this …

Temperature and precipitation drive temporal variability in aquatic carbon and GHG concentrations and fluxes in a peatland catchment
KJ Dinsmore, MF Billett, KE Dyson - Global change biology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The aquatic pathway is increasingly being recognized as an important component of
catchment carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) budgets, particularly in peatland systems due …

Measurements of CO2 and CH4 evasion from UK peatland headwater streams
MF Billett, FH Harvey - Biogeochemistry, 2013 - Springer
Peatland headwater streams are consistently supersaturated with respect to gaseous C and
are known to degas CO 2 and CH 4 directly to the atmosphere. Using a combination of …

Methane indicator values for peatlands: a comparison of species and functional groups
Previous studies have shown a correspondence between the abundance of particular plant
species and methane flux. Here, we apply multivariate analyses, and weighted averaging, to …
