Plantation-associated drainage of Southeast Asian peatlands has accelerated in recent
years. Draining exposes the upper peat layer to oxygen, leading to elevated decomposition …

Land–atmosphere exchange of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in peatlands exhibits marked
seasonal and inter-annual variability, which subsequently affects the carbon (C) sink …

The UK hosts 15–19% of global upland ombrotrophic (rain fed) peatlands that are estimated
to store 3.2 billion tonnes of carbon and represent a critical upland habitat with regard to …

Peatlands are found around the world and cover∼ 3.4% of the Earth's surface. In the UK,
peatlands cover 17.2% or∼ 1.58 Mha of the land surface and occur mainly in upland areas …

Means to enhance storage of carbon in soil or avoid its loss from soil are discussed and
examined from the viewpoint of policy. In particular, technologies that have until now …

There is growing recognition that changes in vegetation composition can strongly influence
peatland carbon cycling, with potential feedbacks to future climate. Nevertheless, despite …

Northern peatlands have been accumulating organic matter since the start of the Holocene,
and are now a substantial store of terrestrial carbon. However, their current status as carbon …

Peatlands are an important store of soil carbon, and play a vital role in global carbon cycling,
and when located in close proximity to urban and industrial areas, can also act as sinks of …

Denitrification is the most uncertain component of the nitrogen (N) cycle, hampering our
ability to assess its contribution to reactive N (Nr) removal. This uncertainty emanates from …

Climate change has the capacity to alter physical and biological ecosystem processes,
jeopardizing the survival of associated species. This is a particular concern in cool, wet …
