Title: Research Spotlight: Global carbon cycle influenced by peatlands

Although previous studies have investigated the dynamics of peatlands within a particular region, few studies have looked at peatland dynamics globally over a long time period, and estimates of the amount of carbon stored in peatlands vary.Read More
