Open AccessFirst estimates of fine root production in tropical peat swamp and terra firme forests of the central Congo Basin
Tropical peatlands are carbon-dense ecosystems because they accumulate partially-decomposed plant material. A substantial fraction of this organic matter may derive from fine root production (FRP). However, fe...

Open AccessHydroclimatic vulnerability of peat carbon in the central Congo Basin
The forested swamps of the central Congo Basin store approximately 30 billion metric tonnes of carbon in peat1,2. Little is known about the vulnerability of these carbon stocks. Here we investigate this vulnerabi...

Asynchronous carbon sink saturation in African and Amazonian tropical forests
Structurally intact tropical forests sequestered about half of the global terrestrial carbon uptake over the 1990s and early 2000s, removing about 15 per cent of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions1–3. Climate...

Age, extent and carbon storage of the central Congo Basin peatland complex
Field measurements combined with remotely sensed data reveal the Cuvette Centrale in the central Congo Basin to contain the most extensive peatland complex in the tropics, increasing the best estimate of globa...
