Water content alters soil organic carbon metabolism via microbial traits in Tibetan alpine peatlands [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAlpine peatlands on the eastern Tibetan Plateau are vital carbon sinks, with soil moisture playing a key role in peatland carbon cycling. However, they face disruptions in their carbon balance due to drought, which reduces soil water content.

Asynchronous responses of microbial CAZymes genes and the net CO2 exchange in alpine peatland following 5 years of continuous extreme drought events [PDF]
ISME Communications, 2022 Peatlands act as an important sink of carbon dioxide (CO2). Yet, they are highly sensitive to climate change, especially to extreme drought. The changes in the net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) under extreme drought events, and the driving function of ...

Canada's Forests Are Shifting From a Recovery‐Driven Carbon Sink to a Disturbance‐Driven Carbon Source [PDF]
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.Canada's terrestrial ecosystems have historically functioned as a net carbon sink but are increasingly impacted by wildfire and timber harvest. Using wall‐to‐wall, physically coherent estimates of all major carbon pools and fluxes from the Canadian Land Surface Scheme Including Biogeochemical Cycles land surface model, we show that rising wildfire ...
