Peatlands and global change: response and resilience
Peatlands are wetland ecosystems that accumulate dead organic matter (ie, peat) when
plant litter production outpaces peat decay, usually under conditions of frequent or …

Insights and issues with estimating northern peatland carbon stocks and fluxes since the Last Glacial Maximum
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 …
