Soil moisture and microbiome explain greenhouse gas exchange in global peatlands

Abstract Earth’s climate is tightly connected to carbon and nitrogen exchange between the atmosphere and ecosystems. Wet peatland ecosystems take up carbon dioxide in plants and accumulate organic carbon in soil but release methane. Man-made drainage releases carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide from pe...
