Climate Warming and Elevated CO2 Alter Peatland Soil Carbon Sources and Stability
Resource
Peatlands are an important carbon (C) reservoir storing one-third of global soil organic carbon (SOC), but little is known about the fate of these C stocks under climate change. Here, we examine the...
Prompt Rewetting of Drained Peatlands Reduces Climate Warming Despite Methane Emissions
Resource
Peatlands are strategic areas for climate change mitigation because of their matchless carbon stocks. Drained peatlands release this carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide (CO2). Peatland...
Reviewing and analyzing shrinkage of Peat and Other Organic Soils in Relation to Selected Soil Properties
Resource
Peat and other organic soils (e.g., organo-mineral soils) show distinctive volume changes through desiccation and wetting. Important processes behind volume changes are shrinkage and swelling. There...
