Peatlands offer a series of ecosystem services including carbon storage, biomass
production, and climate regulation. Climate change and rapid land use change are …

Soil Security includes dimensions, soil capability, soil condition, soil capital, soil connectivity
and soil codification (the “five C's”). This article provides a short review on how soil mapping …

Increasingly, the human existence in urban environments is growing. In addition,
anthropogenic activity has altered the global carbon (C) cycle and triggered climate change …

Soil organic matter is a potential sink of atmospheric carbon (C) and critical for maintaining
soil quality. We reviewed New Zealand studies of soil C changes after conversion from …

The unprecedented level of threat facing many of the world's natural and cultural systems
calls for the collaboration of multiple interest groups to engage in aligned environmental …

Reports of wetland loss in New Zealand are typically related to the historical, pre-European
coverage of wetland ecosystems. It is widely accepted that large areas of wetlands were …

Freshwater influenced wetlands (FIW), wetlands impacted by both freshwater flooding and
underground seawater (MIW) and seawater influenced wetlands (SIW) were chosen as …

Background Natural wetlands can mitigate ongoing increases in atmospheric carbon by
storing any net balance of organic carbon (peat) between plant production (carbon uptake) …

Freshwater wetlands are important carbon sinks with an estimated~ 450 gigatons of carbon
stored in their sediments. However, when disturbed they can become significant sources of …

Freshwater marshes are prevalent in North America, yet their soil carbon stocks remain
poorly quantified. To better understand these stocks, and rates of carbon accumulation over …
