- Biofuel Plantations on Forested Lands: Double Jeopardy for Biodiversity and Climate (2009, background): “…Biology Volume 23, No. 2, 2009 biofuel (Coyle 2007) could promote a rapid expansion of oil-palm plantations (Koh & Wilcove 2007, 2008; Fitzherbert et al. 2008) in forest on mineral soils and in peatlands, which cover 27.1 million ha in Southeast Asia (Hooijer et al. 2006; Parish et al. 2007).”
- Investing in nature: Developing ecosystem service markets for peatland restoration (2014, background): “…drained, however (typically to increase provisioning services such as agriculture and forestry), peatlands can turn into significant sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and affect water quality, human health and biodiversity (Bonn et al., 2009b; Parish et al., 2008; van der Wal et al., 2011).”
- The natural fix? The role of ecosystems in climate mitigation: a UNEP rapid response assessment. (2009, background): “Their capacity for storage is huge; with estimates suggesting that ~550 Gt of C is stored globally in peat soils (Sabine et al. 2004), and a worldwide average of 1450 t C per ha (Parish et al. 2008).”
- Wetlands and global climate change: the role of wetland restoration in a changing world (2009, background): “They cover over 4 million km2 worldwide (3% of the world’s land area), contain 30% of all global soil carbon, occur in over 180 countries and represent at least a third of the global wetland resource (Parish et al. 2008).”
- Tackling Climate Change with Machine Learning (2019, background): “atlands (a type of wetland ecosystem) cover only 3% of the Earth’s land area, yet hold twice the total carbon in all the world’s forests, making peat the largest source of sequestered carbon on Earth [419]. When peat dries, however, it releases carbon through decomposition and also becomes susceptib”
