  • Long‐term interventions by conservation and development projects support successful recovery of tropical peatlands in Amazonia

    Open AccessEurídice N Honorio Coronado, Julio Grández Rios et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Rural communities in Amazonia rely on harvesting Mauritia flexuosa fruit, a dominant peatland palm, for their subsistence and income. However, these palms are felled to harvest the fruits, which has led to reduced resource availability due to the pressure exerted by the increasing fruit demand. As a result, climbing has been proposed as a means to harvest the fruits sustainably. However, the long‐term ecological and socio‐economic impacts of clim…

  • Widespread carbon-dense peatlands in the Colombian lowlands

    Open AccessR Scott Winton, Juan C Benavides et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Peatlands are some of the world’s most carbon-dense ecosystems and release substantial quantities of greenhouse gases when degraded. However, conserving peatlands in many tropical areas is challenging due to limited knowledge of their distribution. To address this, we surveyed soils and plant communities in Colombia’s eastern lowlands, where few peatlands have previously been described. We documented peat soils >40 cm thick at 51 of more than 100…

  • A new data-driven map predicts substantial undocumented peatland areas in Amazonia

    Open AccessAdam Hastie, John Ethan Householder et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Tropical peatlands are among the most carbon-dense terrestrial ecosystems yet recorded. Collectively, they comprise a large but highly uncertain reservoir of the global carbon cycle, with wide-ranging estimates of their global area (441 025–1700 000 km 2 ) and below-ground carbon storage (105–288 Pg C). Substantial gaps remain in our understanding of peatland distribution in some key regions, including most of tropical South America. Here we comp…

  • Intensive field sampling increases the known extent of carbon-rich Amazonian peatland pole forests

    Open AccessEurídice N Honorio Coronado, Adam Hastie et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Peatland pole forest is the most carbon-dense ecosystem in Amazonia, but its spatial distribution and species composition are poorly known. To address this knowledge gap, we quantified variation in the floristic composition, peat thickness, and the amount of carbon stored above and below ground of 102 forest plots and 53 transects in northern Peruvian Amazonia. This large dataset includes 571 ground reference points of peat thickness measurements…
