Shallow peat is most vulnerable to high peat burn severity during wildfire
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Peatlands typically act as carbon sinks, however, increasing wildfire severity and annual area burned may challenge this carbon sink status. Whilst most peat resistance to wildfire and drought research is based on deep peatlands that rarely lose their ...

Tropical peatland carbon storage linked to global latitudinal trends in peat recalcitrance
Nature Communications, 2018 Peatlands represent large terrestrial carbon banks. Given that most peat accumulates in boreal regions, where low temperatures and water saturation preserve organic matter, the existence of peat in (sub)tropical regions remains enigmatic.

Origin and fluxes of atmospheric REE entering an ombrotrophic peat bog in Black Forest (SW Germany): Evidence from snow, lichens and mosses [PDF]
, 2006 The fate of the Rare Earth Elements (REE) were investigated in different types of archives of atmospheric deposition in the Black Forest, Southern Germany: (1) a 70 cm snow pack collected on the domed part of a raised bog and representing 2 months of ...

Ammonia volatilization, nitrogen in soil, and growth of barley after application of peat manure and pig slurry [PDF]
, 2006 Peat is added to manure, because its low pH and capacity to adsorb ammonia (NH3) give it potential to reduce nitrogen (N) loss. Peat manure was prepared by mixing pig slurry with moderately humified Sphagnum peat. Less than 1% of applied ammoniacal N was

New estimate of particulate emissions from Indonesian peat fires in 2015
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 . Indonesia contains large areas of peatland that have been drained and cleared of natural vegetation, making them susceptible to burning. Peat fires emit considerable amounts of carbon dioxide, particulate matter (PM) and other trace gases, contributing

Carbon in Peat on Earth through Time (C-PEAT) [PDF]
Past Global Changes Magazine, 2014 pool in the terrestrial biosphere. In the form of peat (organic soils) they store at present ~600 Pg c , accumulated mostly since the Last Glacial Maximum. We know that peatlands played an important role in the global c cycle during the Holocene as also recognized by the IPcc A r5 (c iais et al. 2013); however, we still lack a full understanding of how
