Southern Ocean deep-water carbon export enhanced by natural iron fertilization
The ocean's importance in storing carbon is widely recognized, as is the importance of iron as a limiting nutrient in much of the global ocean. But quantifying the increase in long-term carbon storage in respo...

Open AccessThe long-term fate of permafrost peatlands under rapid climate warming
Permafrost peatlands contain globally important amounts of soil organic carbon, owing to cold conditions which suppress anaerobic decomposition. However, climate warming and permafrost thaw threaten the stabil...

Open AccessSolar cycles or random processes? Evaluating solar variability in Holocene climate records
Many studies have reported evidence for solar-forcing of Holocene climate change across a range of archives. These studies have compared proxy-climate data with records of solar variability (e.g. 14C or 10Be), or...

Open AccessMisinterpreting carbon accumulation rates in records from near-surface peat
Peatlands are globally important stores of carbon (C) that contain a record of how their rates of C accumulation have changed over time. Recently, near-surface peat has been used to assess the effect of curren...

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...

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...
