The global magnitude (Pg) of soil organic carbon (SOC) is 677 to 0.3‐m, 993 to 0.5‐m, and
1,505 to 1‐m depth. Thus,~ 55% of SOC to 1‐m lies below 0.3‐m depth. Soils of …

Tropical peatlands store around one-sixth of the global peatland carbon pool (105
gigatonnes), equivalent to 30% of the carbon held in rainforest vegetation. Deforestation …

Peatlands play important ecological, economic and cultural roles in human well-being.
Although considered sensitive to climate change and anthropogenic pressures, the spatial …

Canada's managed boreal forest, 54% of the nation's total boreal forest area, stores 28 Pg
carbon (C) in biomass, dead organic matter, and soil pools. The net C balance is dominated …

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 …

Peatlands have acted as net CO2 sinks over millennia, exerting a global climate cooling
effect. Rapid warming at northern latitudes, where peatlands are abundant, can disturb their …

Glacial− interglacial variations in CO2 and methane in polar ice cores have been attributed,
in part, to changes in global wetland extent, but the wetland distribution before the Last …

Organic soils in peatlands store a great proportion of the global soil carbon pool and can
lose carbon via the atmosphere due to degradation. In Germany, most of the greenhouse …

Mixotrophic protists are increasingly recognized for their significant contribution to carbon
(C) cycling. As phototrophs they contribute to photosynthetic C fixation, whilst as predators of …

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 …
