Rapid Net Carbon Loss from a Whole-Ecosystem Warmed Peatland Ecosystem-scale warming produces carbon losses in wetlands. Northern bogs and fens have accumulated carbon in deep deposits of peat—dead and decaying plant material high in carbon content—for millennia under wet, cold, and acidic conditions. The SPRUCE team experimentally warmed and added CO2 to a series of … Continue reading Rapid Net Carbon Loss from a Whole-Ecosystem Warmed Peatland
