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 …

Vegetation fires are an essential component of the Earth system but can also cause
substantial economic losses, severe air pollution, human mortality and environmental …

It is unequivocal that the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)
and nitrous oxide (N2O) since the pre-industrial period are caused by human activities. The …

Global peatlands store more carbon than is naturally present in the atmosphere,. However,
many peatlands are under pressure from drainage-based agriculture, plantation …

Executive summary Land and climate interact in complex ways through changes in forcing
and multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks across different spatial and …

Almost half of the total organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems is stored in forest soils.
By altering rates of input or release of C from soils, forest management activities can …

Many feedback loops significantly increase warming due to greenhouse gas emissions.
However, not all of these feedbacks are fully accounted for in climate models. Thus …

Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N),
but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we …

The carbon balance of peatlands is predicted to shift from a sink to a source this century.
However, peatland ecosystems are still omitted from the main Earth system models that are …

Arctic fires can release large amounts of carbon from permafrost peatlands. Satellite
observations reveal that fires burned~ 4.7 million hectares in 2019 and 2020, accounting for …
