Recovering wetland biogeomorphic feedbacks to restore the world's biotic carbon hotspots
Biogeomorphic wetlands cover 1% of Earth's surface but store 20% of ecosystem organic
carbon. This disproportional share is fueled by high carbon sequestration rates and effective …

Peatlands in the Earth's 21st century climate system
Peatlands occupy a relatively small fraction of the Earth's land area, but they are a globally
important carbon store because of their high carbon density. Undisturbed peatlands are …
