Amazonian peatlands store a large amount of soil organic carbon (SOC), and its fate under
a future changing climate is unknown. Here, we use a process-based peatland …

Abstract Peatlands in Amazonian Peru are known to store large quantities of carbon, but
there is high uncertainty in the spatial extent and total carbon stocks of these ecosystems …

The most carbon (C)‐dense ecosystems of Amazonia are areas characterized by the
presence of peatlands. However, Amazonian peatland ecosystems are poorly understood …

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 are carbon‐rich ecosystems that cover 185–423 million hectares (Mha) of the
earth's surface. The majority of the world's peatlands are in temperate and boreal zones …

In tropical lowlands, peatlands are commonly reported from Southeast Asia, and especially
Indonesian tropical peatlands are known as considerable C sinks and sources. In contrast …

Tropical peat swamp forests are major global carbon (C) stores highly vulnerable to human
intervention. In Peruvian Amazonia, palm swamps, the prevalent peat ecosystem, have been …

Peatlands have been important terrestrial carbon (C) reservoirs throughout the Holocene,
yet whether these ecosystems will become stronger or weaker C sinks in the future remains …

Our limited knowledge of the size of the carbon pool and exchange fluxes in forested
lowland tropical peatlands represents a major gap in our understanding of the global carbon …

Conversion, drainage, and cultivation of tropical peatlands can change soil conditions,
shifting the C balance of these systems, which is important for the global C cycle. We …
