The exchange of carbon dioxide is a key measure of ecosystem metabolism and a critical intersection
between the terrestrial biosphere and the Earth’s climate. Despite the general agreement that
the terrestrial ecosystems in North America provide a sizeable carbon sink, the size and distribution
of the sink remain uncertain. We...

Tropical peatlands cover an estimated 440,000 km² (~10% of global peatland area) and are significant in the global
carbon cycle by storing about 40–90 Gt C in peat. Over the past several decades, tropical peatlands have experienced
high rates of deforestation and conversion, which is often associated with lowering the...
