Peatlands contain a large belowground carbon (C) stock in the biosphere, and their
dynamics have important implications for the global carbon cycle. However, there are still …

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 …

Northern peatlands provide important global and regional ecosystem services (carbon
storage, water storage, and biodiversity). However, these ecosystems face increases in the …

Northern peatlands are a major component of the global carbon (C) cycle. Widespread
climate‐driven ecohydrological changes in these ecosystems can have major …

Fens and bogs are distinct in terms of their biogeochemistry, water table behavior, and net
peat-accumulation regimes. While most peatlands start developing as fens, a large fraction …

Water‐table reconstructions from Holocene peatlands are increasingly being used as
indicators of terrestrial palaeoclimate in many regions of the world. However, the links …

We examine mid-to late Holocene centennial-scale climate variability in Ireland using proxy
data from peatlands, lakes and a speleothem. A high degree of between-record variability is …

Current models and theories of the formation and maintenance of microtopography in
ombrotrophic peatlands (bogs) assume autogenic feedbacks between vegetation …

Drier conditions caused by drainage for infrastructure development, or associated with
global climate warming, may test the resilience of carbon-rich northern peatlands …

Hydrology is central to the formation, growth and utilisation of peat soils. However, peat
presents a difficult medium in which to measure hydrologic properties, due to its soft …
