We outline the geomorphological relationships between glaciers, lakes and bofedal wetlands, and the way in which moraines, talus slopes and sandar interact with catchment hydrology in the tropical Andes of Peru. Bofedales are well developed within glacial limits, with glacial processes such as erosion and formation of moraines providing the poorly ...

Implementing nature‐based climate solutions is important for mitigating climate change, which is a global issue, but requires local adjustments in management practices. Using the association between soil carbon and minerals as a proxy for carbon persistence, we evaluated the effect of different management regimes on soil carbon sequestration and loss ...

‘Pushing the limits’: experiences of women in tropical peatland research
Science fields, including tropical peatland research, are facing persistent under-representation of women. In this perspective piece, we explore, as women at different stages of our career, our personal experiences of ‘what is it like to be a woman working in tropical peatland science’?

Progress of paludiculture projects in supporting peatland ecosystem restoration in Indonesia
Sustainable peatland management practices such as paludiculture are crucial for restoring degraded peatland ecosystems. Paludiculture involves wet cultivation practices in peatland and can maintain peat bodies and sustaining ecosystem services.

Abstract The production, transport, loss, and export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) are closely connected with hydrometeorological drivers. While terrestrial production depends on biogeochemical variables like soil moisture, air temperature, and the contact area between water and organic matter sources, export is determined by water availability and

Modeling Sub‐Grid Peatland Vegetation Dynamics in the ORCHIDEE‐PEAT Land Surface Model
Peatlands store about one‐third of total global soil carbon. Vegetation composition strongly regulates peatland carbon dynamics. Global warming and climate‐driven ecohydrological changes are expected to alter peatland vegetation composition ...
