Expert assessment of future vulnerability of the global peatland carbon sink (2020)
Journal Article
Loisel, J., Gallego-Sala, A. V., Amesbury, M. J., Magnan, G., Anshari, G., Beilman, D. W., …Wu, J. (2020). Expert assessment of future vulnerability of the global peatland carbon sink. Nature Climate Change, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-020-00944-0

© 2020, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited. The carbon balance of peatlands is predicted to shift from a sink to a source this century. However, peatland ecosystems are still omitted from the main Earth system models th... Read More about Expert assessment of future vulnerability of the global peatland carbon sink.

Short-term impacts of different tillage practices and plant residue retention on soil physical properties and greenhouse gas emissions (2020)
Journal Article
Alskaf, K., Mooney, S. J., Sparkes, D. L., Wilson, P., & Sjögersten, S. (2021). Short-term impacts of different tillage practices and plant residue retention on soil physical properties and greenhouse gas emissions. Soil and Tillage Research, 206, Article 104803. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.still.2020.104803

© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Reducing tillage intensity and plant residue retention have the potential to mitigate climate change by reducing soil greenhouse gas emissions. Few comparative studies have explored the effects of different tillage practices and...

Peat Properties, Dominant Vegetation Type and Microbial Community Structure in a Tropical Peatland (2020)
Journal Article
Girkin, N. T., Lopes dos Santos, R. A., Vane, C. H., Ostle, N., Turner, B. L., & Sjögersten, S. (2020). Peat Properties, Dominant Vegetation Type and Microbial Community Structure in a Tropical Peatland. Wetlands, 40, 1367–1377. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13157-020-01287-4

Tropical peatlands are an important carbon store and source of greenhouse gases, but the microbial component, particularly community structure, remains poorly understood. While microbial communities vary between tropical peatland land uses, and with... Read More about Peat Properties, Dominant Vegetation Type and Microbial Community Structure in a Tropical Peatland.

Root oxygen mitigates methane fluxes in tropical peatlands (2020)
Journal Article
Girkin, N., Vane, C. H., Turner, B., Ostle, N., & Sjögersten, S. (2020). Root oxygen mitigates methane fluxes in tropical peatlands. Environmental Research Letters, 15(6), Article 064013. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/ab8495

© 2020 The Author(s). Published by IOP Publishing Ltd. Tropical peatlands are a globally important source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Vegetation is critical in regulating fluxes, providing a conduit for emissions and regular carbon inputs. H... Read More about Root oxygen mitigates methane fluxes in tropical peatlands.
