Rewetting global wetlands effectively reduces major greenhouse gas emissions
Carbon and nitrogen losses from degraded wetlands and methane emissions from flooded
wetlands are both important sources of greenhouse gas emissions. However, the net …

Recent climate change has driven divergent hydrological shifts in high-latitude peatlands
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including
permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century …

Carbon and climate implications of rewetting a raised bog in Ireland
Peatland rewetting has been proposed as a vital climate change mitigation tool to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and to generate suitable conditions for the return of carbon (C) …

Ongoing fen–bog transition in a boreal aapa mire inferred from repeated field sampling, aerial images, and Landsat data
Northern aapa mire complexes are characterized by patterned fens with flarks (wet fen
surfaces) and bog zone margins with Sphagnum moss cover. Evidence exists of a recent …

Variations in wetland hydrology drive rapid changes in the microbial community, carbon metabolic activity, and greenhouse gas fluxes
Wetlands play a crucial role in the carbon cycle as they are the largest natural source of
methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Changes in wetland hydrology can alter the rate of …

A strong mitigation scenario maintains climate neutrality of northern peatlands
Northern peatlands store 300–600 Pg C, of which approximately half are underlain by
permafrost. Climate warming and, in some regions, soil drying from enhanced evaporation …
