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.

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.

Patterns of global peat chemistry suggest a novel temperature-dependent carbon cycling mechanism [PDF]
Mires and PeatPeatlands contain a disproportionate share of global carbon stocks, such that their biogeochemistry plays an outsized role in carbon balance and climate regulation.

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.

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

Restoration of blanket peatlands [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Management, 2014 There is concern that ecosystem services provided by blanket peatlands have come under threat due to increasing degradation. Blanket peatlands are subject to a wide range of drivers of degradation and are topographically variable. As a result, many degradation forms can develop, including those resulting from eroding artificial drainage, incising ...

Water beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera) of some peatlands in the North Caucasus
Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2019 Montane peatlands occupy only 0.1% of the Caucasus territory and are present at altitudes of 600–3400 m a.s.l. Unlike vegetation and stratigraphy, insects of the peatlands have been studied poorly.

, 2010 Peatlands are an important natural archive for past climatic changes, primarily due to their sensitivity to changes in the water balance and the dating possibilities of peat sediments. In addition, peatlands are an important sink as well as potential source of greenhouse gases.

Socio Economic Factors Causing Rapid Peatlands Degradation in South Sumatra
Sriwijaya Journal of Environment, 2019 Naturally peatlands ecosystem belongs to a stable ecosystem and tends to increase its peat thickness, but if the balance of its natural conditions is disturbed, then peatlands are easily degraded and lost altogether.
