The anthropogenic climate change threatens northern permafrost environments. This compromises the existence of permafrost landforms, such as palsas and peat plateaus, which have been assessed to be...
Increasing Contributions of Peatlands to Boreal Evapotranspiration in a Warming Climate
Resource
The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and peatlands. The...
Intra- and Interspecific Variation in Spectral Properties of Dominant Sphagnum Moss Species in Boreal Peatlands
Resource
Boreal peatlands store ~25 % of global soil organic carbon and host many endangered species; however, they face degradation due to climate change and anthropogenic drainage. In boreal peatlands...
