Peatlands are carbon‐rich ecosystems that cover 185–423 million hectares (Mha) of the
earth's surface. The majority of the world's peatlands are in temperate and boreal zones …

Natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic systems plays many environmental roles:
providing building blocks and energy for aquatic biota, acting as a sunscreen in surface …

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 represent large terrestrial carbon banks. Given that most peat accumulates in
boreal regions, where low temperatures and water saturation preserve organic matter, the …

Water browning or brownification refers to increasing water color, often related to increasing
dissolved organic matter (DOM) and carbon (DOC) content in freshwaters. Browning has …

Indonesia's peatlands have been subject to extensive deforestation and degradation
resulting from logging, drainage, fires and conversion to other land uses. A number of …

Ecosystem services provided by tropical peat swamp forests, such as carbon (C) storage
and water regulation, are under threat due to encroachment and replacement of these …

Peatlands are important carbon sinks, therefore their degradation mainly due to lowering of
the water table, has an adverse effect to the carbon cycle and largely burden the …

Globally, peatlands play an important role in the carbon (C) cycle. High water level is a key
factor in maintaining C storage in peatlands, but water levels are vulnerable to climate …

South-East Asia is home to one of the world's largest stores of tropical peatland and
accounts for roughly 10% of the global land-to-sea dissolved organic carbon (DOC) flux. We …
