Climate change is identified as a major threat to wetlands. Altered hydrology and rising
temperature can change the biogeochemistry and function of a wetland to the degree that …

We critically review recent literature on carbon storage and fluxes within natural and
constructed freshwater wetlands, and specifically address concerns of readers working in …

Carbon and nitrogen losses from degraded wetlands and methane emissions from flooded
wetlands are both important sources of greenhouse gas emissions. However, the net …

For decades, ecosystem scientists have used global warming potentials (GWPs) to compare
the radiative forcing of various greenhouse gases to determine if ecosystems have a net …

Wetland ecosystems provide an optimum natural environment for the sequestration and long-
term storage of carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the atmosphere, yet are natural sources of …

Wetland CH4 emissions have been demonstrated to be more sensitive than wetland CO2
emissions to increasing temperatures, which may result in a greater relative contribution of …

The relationship between methane emissions and salinity is not well understood in tidal
marshes, leading to uncertainty about the net effect of marsh conservation and restoration …

Wetlands represent the largest component of the terrestrial biological carbon pool and thus
play an important role in global carbon cycles. Most global carbon budgets, however, have …

Drained organic soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the
atmosphere. Rewetting these soils may reduce GHG emissions and could also create …

Peatlands form important landscape elements in many parts of the world and play significant
roles for biodiversity and global carbon balance. This new edition has been fully revised and …
