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 …

Development and refinement of proxy-climate indicators from peats
Peat, especially from acidic mires (bogs), is a natural archive of past environmental change.
Reconstructions of past climate from bogs commenced in the 19th Century through …

Widespread drying of European peatlands in recent centuries
Climate warming and human impacts are thought to be causing peatlands to dry, potentially
converting them from sinks to sources of carbon. However, it is unclear whether the …
