The 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...

Solar 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...

EnRoot: a narrow-diameter, inexpensive and partially 3D-printable minirhizotron for imaging fine root production

Fine root production is one of the least well understood components of the carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystems. Minirhizotrons allow accurate and non-destructive sampling of fine root production. Small and ...

Misinterpreting 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...

Map** peat thickness and carbon stocks of the central Congo Basin using field data

The world’s largest tropical peatland complex is found in the central Congo Basin. However, there is a lack of in situ measurements to understand the peatland’s distribution and the amount of carbon stored in ...

Hydroclimatic 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 peat^1,2. Little is known about the vulnerability of these carbon stocks. Here we investigate this vulnerabi...

First 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...

Six Decades of Changes in Pool Characteristics on a Concentric-Patterned Raised Bog

Raised bogs are wetland ecosystems which, under the right climatic conditions, feature patterns of pool hollows and hummock ridges. The relative cover and the spatial arrangement of pool and ridge microforms a...
