The role of hydrological transience in peatland pattern formation [PDF]

, 2013
The sloping flanks of peatlands are commonly patterned with non-random, contour-parallel stripes of distinct microhabitats such as hummocks, lawns and hollows.

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

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.

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.

Climate and Peatlands

, 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.

Towards net zero CO2 in 2050: An emission reduction pathway for organic soils in Germany [PDF]

Mires and Peat, 2021
The Paris Agreement reflects the global endeavour to limit the increase of global average temperature to 2 °C, better 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels to prevent dangerous climate change. This requires that global anthropogenic net carbon dioxide (CO2)

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.

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.

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.
