A Strong Mitigation Scenario Maintains Climate Neutrality of Northern Peatlands
Resource
Northern peatlands store 300–600 Pg C, of which approximately half are underlain by permafrost. Climate warming and, in some regions, soil drying from enhanced evaporation are progressively...

C-PEAT, in collaboration with PAGES and Future Earth, is taking part in the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change ( COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland, in November 2021. Our team is...
Global Peatlands Assessment: The State of the World’s Peatlands
Resource
Peatlands are unique and rare ecosystems that, despite only covering around 3-4% of the planet’s land surface, they contain up to one-third of the world’s soil carbon, which is twice the amount of...
Peatland Atlas: Facts and Figures About Wet Climate Guardians
News
Organization
Although peatlands cover only 3% of the world's land, they store about twice as much carbon as in the biomass of all the world's forests combined. Thus, they are incredibly important especially for...

Water Level Drawdown Makes Boreal Peatland Vegetation More Responsive to Weather Conditions
Resource
Abstract Climate warming and projected increase in summer droughts puts northern peatlands under pressure by subjecting them to a combination of gradual drying and extreme weather events. The combined...
