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 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 …

[HTML][HTML] Peatland-fire interactions: A review of wildland fire feedbacks and interactions in Canadian boreal peatlands
Boreal peatlands store a disproportionately large quantity of soil carbon (C) and play a
critical role within the global C-climate system; however, with climatic warming, these C …

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
Long‐term carbon and nitrogen dynamics in peatlands are affected by both vegetation
production and decomposition processes. Here, we examined the carbon accumulation rate …

Insights and issues with estimating northern peatland carbon stocks and fluxes since the Last Glacial Maximum
In this review paper, we identify and address key uncertainties related to four local and
global controls of Holocene northern peatland carbon stocks and fluxes. First, we provide up …
