Hydroclimatic vulnerability of peat carbon in the central Congo Basin. (2022)
Journal Article

The forested swamps of the central Congo Basin store approximately 30 billion metric tonnes of carbon in peat . Little is known about the vulnerability of these carbon stocks. Here we investigate this vulnerability using peat cores from a large inter... Read More about Hydroclimatic vulnerability of peat carbon in the central Congo Basin..

Immediate environmental impacts of transformation of an oil palm intercropping to a monocropping system in a tropical peatland (2022)
Journal Article

The expansion of oil palm plantations is one of the greatest threats to carbon-rich tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia. More than half of the oil palm plantations on tropical peatlands of Peninsular Malaysia are smallholder-based, which typically f...

Towards a Monitoring Approach for Understanding Permafrost Degradation and Linked Subsidence in Arctic Peatlands (2022)
Journal Article

Permafrost thaw resulting from climate warming is threatening to release carbon from high latitude peatlands. The aim of this research was to determine subsidence rates linked to permafrost thaw in sub-Arctic peatlands in Sweden using historical orth...
