Journal ArticleDOI
Global and regional importance of the tropical peatland carbon pool
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used available information on tropical peatland area and thickness and calculate peat volume and carbon content in order to determine their best estimates and ranges of variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The carbon balance of north american wetlands
TL;DR: In this paper, the carbon balance of North American wetlands was examined by reviewing and synthesizing the published literature and soil databases, with the largest unknown being the role of carbon sequestration by sedimentation in freshwater mineral-soil wetlands.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ecology of Soil Carbon: Pools, Vulnerabilities, and Biotic and Abiotic Controls
TL;DR: This analysis suggests root inputs are approximately five times more likely than an equivalent mass of aboveground litter to be stabilized as SOM, and that fungi and bacteria, and soil faunal food webs, and mineral associations drive stabilization at depths greater than ∼30 cm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large stocks of peatland carbon and nitrogen are vulnerable to permafrost thaw.
Gustaf Hugelius,Gustaf Hugelius,Julie Loisel,Sarah Chadburn,Robert B. Jackson,Miriam C. Jones,Glen M. MacDonald,Maija E. Marushchak,David Olefeldt,Maara S. Packalen,Matthias Benjamin Siewert,Claire C. Treat,Merritt R. Turetsky,Merritt R. Turetsky,Carolina Voigt,Zicheng Yu,Zicheng Yu +16 more
TL;DR: This study compiles over 7,000 field observations to present a data-driven map of northern peatlands and their carbon and nitrogen stocks, and uses machine-learning techniques with extensive peat core data to create observation-based maps ofNorthern peatland C and N stocks and to assess their response to warming and permafrost thaw.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of peat soils and implications for water storage, flow and solute transport: A review update for geochemists
Fereidoun Rezanezhad,Jonathan S. Price,W. L. Quinton,Bernd Lennartz,T. Milojevic,Philippe Van Cappellen +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the current knowledge of key physical and hydraulic properties related to the structure of globally available peat soils and briefly discuss their implications for water storage, flow and the migration of solutes.

Journal ArticleDOI
The relevance of sustainable soil management within the European Green Deal
Luca Montanarella,Panos Panagos +1 more
TL;DR: The European Commission presented an ambitious package of measures within the Biodiversity Strategy 2030, the Farm to Fork and the European Climate Law including actions to protect our soils as mentioned in this paper, which has the ambition to make the European Union the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
Background Guide for the Calculation of Land Carbon Stocks in the Biofuels Sustainability Scheme Drawing on the 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a methodology based on the Tier 1 approach as developed under the IPCC Guidelines 2006 to calculate carbon-stock changes in soil and above and below ground vegetation due to land use conversion in support of Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources.
