Patterns of global peat chemistry suggest a novel temperature-dependent carbon cycling mechanism

Peatlands contain a disproportionate share of global carbon stocks, such that their biogeochemistry plays an outsized role in carbon balance and climate regulation. The precise mechanisms underpinning peat formation and stabilisation are not yet clear, with several hypotheses co-existing. Further op...
