  • Timing of peat initiation across the central Congo Basin

    Open AccessGreta C Dargie, Pauline Gulliver et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    The central Congo Basin contains the world’s most extensive tropical peatland complex, spanning 16.7 million hectares. Until now, radiocarbon dating of basal peats has been limited to 14 samples with poor spatial coverage, and suggested that peat typically initiated during the Holocene. We present 38 new basal dates, improving spatial coverage across the region. Some of the new basal dates are much older than any previous dates, indicating that p…

  • Low, but gradually growing deforestation and carbon emissions from the Cuvette Centrale peatlands, 2001–2021

    Open AccessShona Jenkins Shona Jenkins, Shona J Jenkins et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Earth’s largest tropical peatland, first mapped in 2017, is located within an immense wetland in the Congo Basin, the Cuvette Centrale, covering 167 600 km 2 . Here, for the first time, we estimate spatio-temporal tree cover loss patterns and the resultant carbon emissions in these forested peatlands using Global Forest Change data from 2001–2021. We find tree cover loss affected 1.4% of the peatlands over 20 years (0.07% yr −1 ), with 89% occurr…
