Graminoids Vary in Functional Traits, Carbon Dioxide and Methane Fluxes in a Restored Peatland: Implications for Modeling Carbon Storage
Resource
One metric of peatland restoration success is the re-establishment of a carbon sink, yet considerable uncertainty remains around the timescale of carbon sink trajectories. Conditions post-restoration...
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...
