Global climate is changing faster than humankind has ever experienced. Model-based
predictions of future climate are becoming more complex and precise, but they still lack …

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 …

Avoiding catastrophic climate change requires rapid decarbonization and improved
ecosystem stewardship at a planetary scale. The carbon released through the burning of …

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 …

The carbon balance of peatlands is predicted to shift from a sink to a source this century.
However, peatland ecosystems are still omitted from the main Earth system models that are …

The globally important carbon sink of intact, old-growth tropical humid forests is declining
because of climate change, deforestation and degradation from fire and logging …

Abstract The 1971 Ramsar Convention promotes wetland conservation worldwide, yet
climate change impacts on wetland extent and associated biodiversity are unclear …

A detailed spatial inventory of the extent and depth distribution for tropical peatlands is not
currently available; however, there is a critical need for new detailed peatland information at …

Northern peatlands are an integral part of the global carbon cycle—a strong sink of
atmospheric carbon dioxide and source of methane. Increasing anthropogenic carbon …

Human-induced climate warming by 2100 is expected to thaw large expanses of northern
permafrost peatlands. However, the spatio-temporal dynamics of permafrost peatland thaw …
