New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2946-2965, June 2026.Summary Tropical peatlands are critical for climate mitigation due to their dual role as major carbon sinks and methane sources. In rainforests, high and stable rainfall supports peat accumulation in tropical climates. However, groundwater‐fed peatlands in seasonally dry tropical ecosystems remain poorly understood, despite their potential importance ...

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 4230-4250, 30 May 2026.ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.Abstract Groundwater flow regulated by deep faults remains challenging to trace due to structural complexity. This study applies the noble gas tracer 222Rn combined with hydrochemistry and stable isotopes (δ2H, δ18O) to distinguish circulation patterns of geothermal springs along a major fault in the Tibetan Plateau.
