The land use–climate change–energy nexus (2011, background): “Approximately one-third of the total world pool of soil carbon is sequestered in peatlands, and thawing permafrost (caused by climate change, land-use change for energy production, or climate-facilitated fire events) releases significant amounts of methane and CO2 (Walter et al. 2006).”

High methane emissions from thermokarst lakes in subarctic peatlands (2016, background): “For example, in a series of Siberian and Alaskan thermokarst lakes, a major source of CH4 was from point source ebullition fueled by carbon released from permafrost degradation at the lake margins; offshore sources of CH4 were also substantial, and derived from older sediment strata (Walter et al. 2”

Uncoupling of acetate degradation from methane formation in Alaskan wetlands: Connections to vegetation distribution (2008, background): “Northernwetlands also emit 10–44Tg of CH4 annually [IPCC, 2001; Mikaloff Fletcher et al., 2004; Walter et al., 2006], which comprises up to one third of the global wetland source [IPCC, 2001] and 10% of the total source [Lelieveld et al., 1998].”
Confidence, uncertainty and decision-support relevance in climate predictions (2007, background): “Model inadequacy is a serious barrier to the interpretation of model results for decision support, especially since, at present, there are no indications that the ‘missing’ processes would substantially ameliorate the climate change response, but an increasing number of plausible mechanisms which co”
