Peatlands are the most efficient terrestrial carbon store on Earth, and deliver multiple other
ecosystem services including climate regulation, water purification, preservation of …

Peatlands are one of the largest terrestrial stores of carbon. Carbon exchange in peatlands
is often assessed solely by measurement of contemporary fluxes; however, these fluxes …

Harvesting of plantation conifers on peatlands is carried out as part of restoration and
forestry operations. In particular, in the UK and Ireland, conifer plantations on drained …

The response of peatland carbon accumulation to climate can be complex, with internal
feedbacks and processes that can dampen or amplify responses to external forcing …

Peatland drainage is a large source of anthropogenic CO 2 emissions. While conversion to
agriculture is widely acknowledged to lead to “irrecoverable” carbon (C) losses, in contrast …

Peatlands are vital ecosystems that store up to a third of terrestrial carbon despite covering
3% of the land surface; it is therefore important to improve our understanding of these …

This study explored the natural woodland development in northern Scotland over the course
of the Holocene in order to inform whether such woodlands can be reinstated on present …

Covering less than 3% of the Earth's landmass but containing around a third of all organic
soil carbon, peatlands are both one of the world rarest and most important habitats in terms …
