Journal ArticleDOI

Introducing global peat-specific temperature and pH calibrations based on brGDGT bacterial lipids

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the distribution of brGDGTs in 470 samples from 96 peatlands around the world with a broad mean annual air temperature (−8 to 27 °C) and pH (3-8) range and present the first peat-specific brGGT-based temperature and pH calibrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The distribution and amount of carbon in the largest peatland complex in Amazonia

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a multi-sensor (Landsat, ALOS PALSAR and SRTM) remote sensing approach, together with field data including 24 forest census plots and 218 peat thickness measurements, to map the distribution of peatland vegetation types and calculate the combined above-and below-ground carbon stock of Peatland ecosystems in the Pastaza-Maranon foreland basin in Peru.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amazonian peatlands: an ignored C sink and potential source

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used field observations from 17 wetland sites in Peruvian lowland Amazonia, and reported 0.5.9 cm thick peat deposits from 16 sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

The large Amazonian peatland carbon sink in the subsiding Pastaza-Marañón foreland basin, Peru

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of tropical peat deposits as a carbon reserve and sink was investigated by measuring peat depth, radiocarbon age and peat and C accumulation rates at 5-13 sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vegetation development in an Amazonian peatland

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the first attempt to establish the long-term (centennial to millennial scale) vegetation history of one of these peatland sites, Quistococha, a palm swamp close to Iquitos in northern Peru.
