  • Open letter

    Open AccessSuelma Ribeiro Silva, Alexandre Christófaro Silva et al.ARTICLEPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET2026

    This Open Letter highlights peatlands as critical yet overlooked ecosystems in Brazil's climate and biodiversity policies. By translating scientific evidence into clear, actionable priorities for policymakers, it supports more accurate climate reporting, effective mitigation strategies, and improved land-use governance. The letter emphasizes the societal benefits of peatland protection, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, water security, …

  • We are storytelling apes

    Open AccessKaren Anderson, Katherine Crichton et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2025

    Provoked by a lack of appropriate political action on the global climate and biodiversity crisis, we present a perspective advocating and demonstrating a new plurality in scientific communication methods. Science writing, in being objective and dispassionate, actively seeks to mask empathetic connection and hides curiosities that may exist between authors and their subjects. We explain, referencing other work, why scientific writing in academic j…

  • Warming of northern peatlands increases the global temperature overshoot challenge

  • 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 strong mitigation scenario maintains climate neutrality of northern peatlands

    Open AccessChunjing Qiu, Philippe Ciais et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2022

  • Divergent responses of permafrost peatlands to recent climate change

    Open AccessThomas G Sim, Graeme T Swindles et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Permafrost peatlands are found in high-latitude regions and store globally-important amounts of soil organic carbon. These regions are warming at over twice the global average rate, causing permafrost thaw, and exposing previously inert carbon to decomposition and emission to the atmosphere as greenhouse gases. However, it is unclear how peatland hydrological behaviour, vegetation structure and carbon balance, and the linkages between them, will …

  • Tropical forest and peatland conservation in Indonesia

    Open AccessMargaret E Harrison, Juliarta Bramansa Ottay et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2020

    Tropical forests and peatlands provide important ecological, climate and socio‐economic benefits from the local to the global scale. However, these ecosystems and their associated benefits are threatened by anthropogenic activities, including agricultural conversion, timber harvesting, peatland drainage and associated fire. Here, we identify key challenges, and provide potential solutions and future directions to meet forest and peatland conserva…

  • Recent peat and carbon accumulation following the Little Ice Age in northwestern Québec, Canada

    Open AccessSanna Piilo, Hui Zhang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Peatland ecosystems are important carbon sinks, but also release carbon back to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide and methane. Peatlands therefore play an essential role in the global carbon cycle. However, the response of high-latitude peatlands to ongoing climate change is still not fully understood. In this study, we used plant macrofossils and peat property analyses as proxies to document changes in vegetation and peat and carbon accumulation …

  • Holocene atmospheric dust deposition in NW Spain

    Open AccessAntonio Martínez Cortizas, Olalla López‐costa et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2019Citada por: 1Referências: 13

    Atmospheric dust plays an important role in terrestrial and marine ecosystems, particularly those that are nutrient limited. Despite that most dust originates from arid and semi-arid regions, recent research has shown that past dust events may have been involved in boosting productivity in nutrient-poor peatlands. We investigated dust deposition in a mid-latitude, raised bog, which is surrounded by a complex geology (paragneiss/schist, granite, q…
