The sustainability of life on Earth is under increasing threat due to human-induced climate
change. This perilous change in the Earth's climate is caused by increases in carbon dioxide …

Tropical peatlands store around one-sixth of the global peatland carbon pool (105
gigatonnes), equivalent to 30% of the carbon held in rainforest vegetation. Deforestation …

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 …

Peatlands have been drained for land use for a long time and on a large scale, turning them
from carbon and nutrient sinks into respective sources, diminishing water regulation …

Peatlands play important ecological, economic and cultural roles in human well-being.
Although considered sensitive to climate change and anthropogenic pressures, the spatial …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a vital role in biogeochemical processes and in
determining the responses of soil organic matter (SOM) to global change. Although the …

Inland waters are an important component of the global carbon cycle. Although they
contribute to greenhouse gas emissions,,,,, estimates of carbon processing in these waters …

Global climate warming may induce a positive feedback through increasing soil carbon (C)
release to the atmosphere. Although warming can affect both C input to and output from soil …

The tremendous reservoir of soil organic carbon (SOC) in wetlands is being threatened by
water-table decline (WTD) globally. However, the SOC response to WTD remains highly …

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 …
