Critical importance of conserving (near)pristine peatlands and restoring drained peatlands for climate change mitigation

Peatland ecosystems are globally important carbon stores. Using meta-analysis and bootstrap upscaling approaches, we show that the disturbances, such as drainage and climate drying, act to largely lower peatland water table depths, consequently enhancing soil carbon release and subsidence rates.
