Global peatlands are a valuable but vulnerable resource. They represent a significant
carbon and energy reservoir and play major roles in water and biogeochemical cycles. Peat …

Peatlands are wetlands that provide important ecosystem services including carbon
sequestration and water storage that respond to hydrological, biological, and …

Peatlands form important landscape elements in many parts of the world and play significant
roles for biodiversity and global carbon balance. This new edition has been fully revised and …

The postglacial development of peatland systems has had a strong influence on the global
carbon cycle. Peatland effects on carbon cycling involve changes in both largescale …

Peatland water table depth is an important control on runoff production, plant growth and
carbon cycling. Many peatlands have been drained but are now subject to activities that …

In northern peatlands, nearsaturated surface conditions promote valuable ecosystem
services such as carbon storage and drinking water provision. Peat saturated hydraulic …

Subsurface flow through peat plays a critical role in the hydrology of organiccovered,
permafrost terrains, which occupy a large part the continental arctic, subarctic, and boreal …

The Geomorphology of Upland Peat offers a detailed synthesis of existing literature on peat
erosion, incorporating new research ideas and data from two leading experts in the field …

The drainage of low-lying peatland for agriculture and subsequent conservation measures
adopted on some of these peatlands has led to differing degrees of change in the physical …

The spatial variability of soil properties plays an important role in water and carbon cycles in
peatlands. The objectives of this study were to analyze the spatial variation of hydro-physical …
