The health impacts of Indonesian peatland fires
Environmental Health, 2022 Background Indonesian peatlands have been drained for agricultural development for several decades. This development has made a major contribution to economic development. At the same time, peatland drainage is causing significant air pollution resulting

Wildfire and degradation accelerate northern peatland carbon release
Nature Climate Change, 2023 Northern peatland carbon sink plays a vital role in climate regulation. Here, the authors show that wildfire reduced peatland carbon uptake and enhanced emissions from degraded peatlands; climate change impacts accelerated carbon losses where increased ...

Mapping and monitoring peatland conditions from global to field scale
Biogeochemistry, 2023 Peatlands cover only 3–4% of the Earth’s surface, but they store nearly 30% of global soil carbon stock. This significant carbon store is under threat as peatlands continue to be degraded at alarming rates around the world.

Climate warming and elevated CO2 alter peatland soil carbon sources and stability
Nature Communications, 2023 Peatlands are an important carbon (C) reservoir storing one-third of global soil organic carbon (SOC), but little is known about the fate of these C stocks under climate change.
