Large Stocks of Peatland Carbon and Nitrogen are Vulnerable to Permafrost Thaw
Resource
Northern peatlands have accumulated large stocks of organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), but their spatial distribution and vulnerability to climate warming remain uncertain. Here, we used machine...
Near-surface Controls on Peatland Hydrology: Implications for Rapid Disturbance Adaptation and Enhanced Resilience to Disturbance
Resource
Northern peatlands faced compounding disturbances that transformed such critical ecosystems from long-term carbon sinks into carbon sources. Considerable investment is therefore directed for restoring...
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...
Wetlands Can Be Infrastructure, Too
Resource
Infrastructure is the underlying structure that helps a country and its economy function. While most people think of infrastructure as concrete structures like bridges and ports, wetlands are also...
