Deskripsi
Peatlands store large quantities of carbon, yet their response to deep warming remains unexplored. Here, Wilsonet al. perform large scale ecosystem manipulation to reveal deep peat heating exponentially increases CH4emissions due to surface processes, but that deep carbon remains relatively stable.
