This review provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the morphological and functional
traits of testate amoebae, a polyphyletic group of protists commonly used as proxies of past …

Testate amoebae (TA) are a common and diverse group of protists and are especially
abundant in peatlands. The structure of peatland TA communities is well correlated to …

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 …

Climate change affects peatlands directly through increased air temperatures and indirectly
through changes in water‐table level (WL). The interactions of these two still remain poorly …

Northern peatlands store large amounts of carbon. Observations indicate that forests and
peatlands in northern biomes can be alternative stable states for a range of landscape …

We determined the magnitude of instantaneous greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from
drainage ditches in hemiboreal peatlands in Latvia during the frost-free period of 2021 and …

The expansive plains of West Siberia contain globally significant carbon stocks, with Earth's
most extensive peatland complex overlying the world's largest‐known hydrocarbon basin …

Little is known about the long-term expansion of mire ecosystems, despite their importance
in the global carbon and hydrogeochemical cycles. It has been firmly established that mires …

Managed boreal peatlands are widespread and economically important, but they are a large
source of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Peatland GHG emissions are related to soil water …

Northern peatlands provide a globally important carbon (C) store. Since the beginning of the
20th century, however, large areas of natural peatlands have been drained for biomass …
