Explore the surprising shift in Colorado forests as they begin releasing more carbon than they absorb, affecting climate ...

Many lands act as carbon sinks, and in many cases — including in most states in the eastern United States — climate change can increase how much ecosystems absorb, since there’s more carbon ...

A new study finds only 17 per cent of the world’s peatlands are in protected areas, a vast under-protection considering how critical they are to carbon storage, biodiversity and water regulation. But ...

Peat bogs sequester a huge amount of carbon dioxide. But as scientists work to better understand bogs' sequestration, they're under threat.

Peatlands, one of the planet’s most crucial carbon sinks, are facing a crisis of protection and preservation, a new global ...

Conserving and restoring Southeast Asia's carbon-rich peatlands and mangroves could mitigate more than 50 per cent of the region's land-use carbon emissions, according to a new international study.

Protecting and restoring peatlands and mangroves can strengthen Southeast Asian countries' efforts to combat climate change, ...
