Long-term peatland dynamics and effects of peatland-mediated feedbacks on the climate system

Author

  • Nitin Chaudhary

Summary, in English

The individual- and patch-based peatland-vegetation model LPJ-GUESS was employed to study past and future peatland carbon dynamics across the pan-Arctic. A substantial reduction in peatland sink capacity, expected under rapid global warming, has the potential to trigger important climate feedbacks.
