Expert assessment of future vulnerability of the global peatland carbon sink

J. Loisel et al.

Summary: Peatlands are influenced by climate and land use changes, impacting the carbon cycle. While there is a shift predicted from carbon sink to source this century, peatlands are still overlooked in major Earth system models and integrated assessment models for future climate change projections. This study emphasizes the importance of including peatland science in research agendas to better understand the nexus between peatland carbon dynamics and climate change.

Impact of climate change on wetland ecosystems: A critical review of experimental wetlands

Shokoufeh Salimi et al.

Summary: Climate change poses a major threat to wetlands, potentially altering their functions and turning them from carbon sinks to sources. Addressing methodological gaps in the literature, a new framework is introduced for conducting comprehensive experiments to support future climate change research on wetland ecosystems.

Drought years in peatland rewetting: rapid vegetation succession can maintain the net CO2 sink function

Florian Beyer et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of drought on a rewetted fen in the Netherlands, highlighting the ecosystem's response to drought and the important regulatory mechanism that allows the fen to maintain its net CO2 sink function even in extremely dry years. The research suggests that restored fens can still sequester significant amounts of CO2 and reduce CH4 emissions even during drought years.
