Abstract: Peatland carbon may enter long-term storage in sedimentary basins preserved as either coal or lignite. To understand the process by which this happens requires extrapolation of our understanding of... read more here.

Abstract: Peatlands contain one-third of the world’s soil carbon (C). If destabilized, decomposition of this vast C bank could accelerate climate warming; however, the likelihood of this outcome remains unknown. Here, we examine peatland C stability… read more here.
