Methanogenic archaea in peatlands [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2020
ABSTRACT Methane emission feedbacks in wetlands are predicted to influence global climate under climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. Herein, we review the taxonomy and physiological ecology of the microorganisms responsible for methane production in peatlands.

The potential of peatlands in global climate change mitigation: a case study of Terceira and Flores Islands (Azores, Portugal) hydrologic services

SN Applied Sciences, 2022
Given the high precipitation verified in the Azores, peatlands, as water retention structures, are promoters of landscape balance, reducing the frequency of major events such as landslides.

Seasonal variations and influencing factors of dissolved organic carbon in pore water from the Dajiuhu peatland in Shennongjia

地质科技通报, 2021
Subtropical peatlands are an important component of the global peatlands and play essential roles in water regulation, carbon storage, and biodiversity.These peatlands are being subjected to the influences of global climate changes and human disturbances.

Variations in the archaeal community and associated methanogenesis in peat profiles of three typical peatland types in China

Environmental Microbiome, 2023
Background Peatlands contain about 500 Pg of carbon worldwide and play a dual role as both a carbon sink and an important methane (CH4) source, thereby potentially influencing climate change. However, systematic studies on peat properties, microorganisms,

Characteristics of Lowland Tropical Peatlands: Formation, Classification, and Decomposition

Journal of Tropical Forestry and Environment, 2020
Tropical peatlands occur mostly in coastal lowlands, and it can be considered as larger sinkers of carbon and important ecosystem services for water resources, bio-resources and biodiversity.

Long-term peat accumulation in temperate forested peatlands (Thuja occidentalis swamps) in the Great Lakes region of North America [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2016
Peatlands are being mapped globally because they are one of the largest pools of terrestrial carbon (C). Most inventories of C have been conducted in northern Sphagnum dominated peatlands or tropical peatlands.

Patterns of global peat chemistry suggest a novel temperature-dependent carbon cycling mechanism [PDF]

Mires and Peat
Peatlands contain a disproportionate share of global carbon stocks, such that their biogeochemistry plays an outsized role in carbon balance and climate regulation.

The three-peat challenge: business as usual, responsible agriculture, and conservation and restoration as management trajectories in global peatlands

Carbon Management, 2023
Peatlands are a globally important carbon store, but peatland ecosystems from high latitudes to the tropics are highly degraded due to increasingly intensive anthropogenic activity, making them significant greenhouse gas (GHG) sources.

Implementing northern peatlands in a global land surface model: description and evaluation in the ORCHIDEE high-latitude version model (ORC-HL-PEAT) [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2018
Widely present in boreal regions, peatlands contain large carbon stocks because of their hydrologic properties and high water content, which makes primary productivity exceed decomposition rates. We have enhanced the global land surface model ORCHIDEE
