The Paramo is a heterogeneous array of High Andean Mountain ecosystems above the tree
line at elevations between 2800 and 5000 meters. It unites characteristics of mountain …

This paper summarizes 19 papers published in a special issue of Ecological Engineering
under the general banner of wetlands and carbon. Many of the papers were presented at a …

Restoring degraded peat soils presents an attractive, but largely untested, climate change
mitigation approach. Drained peat soils used for agriculture can be large greenhouse gas …

Agricultural peatlands are estimated to emit approximately one third of global greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions from croplands, but the temporal dynamics and controls of these …

Globally, organic soils of natural and semi-natural ecosystems have been considered as an
important source of atmospheric nitrous oxide (N 2 O), a powerful greenhouse gas …

Greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions from peatlands contribute significantly to ongoing
climate change because of human land use. To develop reliable and comprehensive …

Peatlands are key components of the global carbon cycle. We compiled peatland dissolved
organic carbon (DOC) export from 62 sites to provide a global estimate of the contribution of …

Emission of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) is of interest in tropical wetland
studies because the high and relatively stable temperatures year-round enhance both …

Mosses of the genus Sphagnum are the dominant vegetation in most pristine peatlands in
temperate and high‐latitude regions. They play a crucial role in carbon sequestration, being …

Constructed wetlands (CWs) are widely used for non-point source pollution control and
water environmental quality improvement. Though it is effective in water quality improvement …
