Peatlands occupy a relatively small fraction of the Earth's land area, but they are a globally
important carbon store because of their high carbon density. Undisturbed peatlands are …

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 …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments1, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

Northern peatlands are an integral part of the global carbon cycle—a strong sink of
atmospheric carbon dioxide and source of methane. Increasing anthropogenic carbon …

Here, we present results from the most comprehensive compilation of Holocene peat soil
properties with associated carbon and nitrogen accumulation rates for northern peatlands …

Here we present a new data synthesis of global peatland ages, area changes, and carbon
(C) pool changes since the Last Glacial Maximum, along with a new peatland map and total …

This synthesis addresses the vulnerability of the North American high‐latitude soil organic
carbon (SOC) pool to climate change. Disturbances caused by climate warming in arctic …

Climate warming threatens to destabilize vast northern permafrost areas, potentially
releasing large quantities of organic carbon that could further disrupt the climate. Here we …

This paper proposes a novel approach using basal peat ages and carbon (C) accumulation
profiles from the world's major peatland regions to decompose C flux terms from time …
