We reviewed the experimental evidence for long-term carbon (C) sequestration in soils as
consequence of specific forest management strategies. Utilization of terrestrial C sinks …

Northern peatlands constitute a significant source of atmospheric methane (CH 4). However,
management of undisturbed peatlands, as well as the restoration of disturbed peatlands, will …

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 …

Life evolved and flourished in the absence of molecular oxygen (02). As the 02 content of
the atmosphere rose to the present level of 21% beginning about two billion years ago …

We have examined how some major catchment disturbances may affect the aquatic
greenhouse gas fluxes in the boreal zone, using gas flux data from studies made in 1994 …

The large boreal peatland ecosystems sequester carbon and nitrogen from the atmosphere
due to a low oxygen pressure in waterlogged peat. Consequently they are sinks for CO2 and …

Significant climate risks are associated with a positive carbon–temperature feedback in
northern latitude carbon-rich ecosystems, making an accurate analysis of human impacts on …

Covering only 3% of the land area, northern peatlands store about 30% of the global soil
carbon and account for 5 to 10% of the global methane burden to the atmosphere. A review …

This article provides an overview of the effects of land-use on the fluxes of carbon dioxide
(CO 2), methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and from peatlands in the Nordic …

Based on theories of mire development and responses to a changing climate, the current
role of mires as a net carbon sink has been questioned. A rigorous evaluation of the current …
