Peatlands in the Earth's 21st century climate system
Peatlands occupy a relatively small fraction of the Earth's land area, but they are a globally
important carbon store because of their high carbon density. Undisturbed peatlands are …

Peatlands and the carbon cycle: from local processes to global implications–a synthesis
Peatlands cover only 3% of the Earth's land surface but boreal and subarctic peatlands store
about 15–30% of the world's soil carbon (C) as peat. Despite their potential for large positive …
