Description: For millennia, peatlands have served as an important sink for atmospheric CO2 and today represent a large soil carbon reservoir. While recent land use and wildfires have reduced carbon sequestration in tropical peatlands, the influence of disturbance on boreal peatlands is uncertain, yet it is important for predicting the fate of northern high-latitude carbon reserves. Here we quantify rates of… more

Description: Northern and tropical peatlands represent a globally significant carbon reserve accumulated over thousands
of years of waterlogged conditions. It is unclear whether moderate drying predicted for northern peatlands
will stimulate burning and carbon losses as has occurred in their smaller tropical counterparts where the
carbon legacy has been destabilized due to severe drainage and deep peat… more
