Carbon Cycling in Global Peatlands
Carbon Cycling in Global Peatlands
Session ID#: 157949
Session Description:
In this session, we invite the global peatland community to present their research on the carbon cycle in intact and degraded peatlands across latitudes. Studies from a wide range of global peatlands, including arctic, boreal, temperate and tropical peatlands are welcome. We encourage studies including but not limited to laboratory and field experiments, flux measurements, remote sensing, microbial ecology, paleoecological studies and process-based or large-scale modeling. Efforts to understand current dynamics as well as studies exploring the past, present and future natural peatland responses to climate as well as to land use change are welcome.
