Mapping and monitoring peatland conditions from global to field scale
Abstract Peatlands cover only 3–4% of the Earth's surface, but they store nearly 30% of
global soil carbon stock. This significant carbon store is under threat as peatlands continue …

A globally robust relationship between water table decline, subsidence rate, and carbon release from peatlands
Peatland ecosystems are globally important carbon stores. Disturbances, such as drainage
and climate drying, act to lower peatland water table depths, consequently enhancing soil …
