Drought-induced reduction in methane fluxes and its hydrothermal sensitivity in alpine peatland [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Accurate estimation of CH4 fluxes in alpine peatland of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau under extreme drought is vital for understanding the global carbon cycle and predicting future climate change.

Environmental Controls on Multi-Scale Dynamics of Net Carbon Dioxide Exchange From an Alpine Peatland on the Eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Peatlands are characterized by their large carbon storage capacity and play an essential role in the global carbon cycle. However, the future of the carbon stored in peatland ecosystems under a changing climate remains unclear.

Qinghai–tibetan plateau peatland sustainable utilization under anthropogenic disturbances and climate change [PDF]

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2017
Often referred to as the “Third Pole,” China's Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau developed large amounts of peatland owing to its unique alpine environment. As a renewable resource, peat helps to regulate the climate as well as performing other important functions.

Water content alters soil organic carbon metabolism via microbial traits in Tibetan alpine peatlands [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Alpine 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 ...

Unprecedented Burning in Tropical Peatlands During the 20th Century Compared to the Previous Two Millennia. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
This study reveals unprecedented burning in tropical peatlands during the 20th century, mainly expressed in the Indomalayan and Australasian regions, emphasising regional variability in peatland burning and its links to modern human activities. Before this period, tropical peatland burning largely followed changes in global temperature and was ...

Freshwater habitats within the Natura 2000 network. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Freshwater biodiversity is experiencing dramatic declines. Despite improvements, the trend remains negative, underlining that effective and coordinated initiatives are needed. Protected areas are considered a global cornerstone of biodiversity conservation, and in Europe, the Natura 2000 network plays a central role in safeguarding ...

A Radiocarbon-Based Framework to Assess Soil Organic Carbon Persistence and Vulnerability Across Land-Use Types. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Soil organic carbon (SOC) persists over timescales from years to millennia but remains vulnerable to disturbance depending on stabilization mechanisms and environmental constraints. This study assesses SOC persistence and vulnerability across five land‐use types by combining radiocarbon‐derived system age and transit time with indicators of biological ...
