Peatlands and global change: response and resilience
Peatlands are wetland ecosystems that accumulate dead organic matter (ie, peat) when
plant litter production outpaces peat decay, usually under conditions of frequent or …

Comparison of carbon and nitrogen accumulation rate between bog and fen phases in a pristine peatland with the fen‐bog transition
Q Yang, Z Liu, E Bai - Global Change Biology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library

A new model of Holocene peatland net primary production, decomposition, water balance, and peat accumulation
Peatland carbon and water cycling are tightly coupled, so dynamic modeling of peat
accumulation over decades to millennia should account for carbon-water feedbacks. We …

Variability in exchange of CO2 across 12 northern peatland and tundra sites
Many wetland ecosystems such as peatlands and wet tundra hold large amounts of organic
carbon (C) in their soils, and are thus important in the terrestrial C cycle. We have …
