#Wetlands captured and stored CO2 for millennia. This makes them important as future sinks or sources of greenhousegases #GHG.
In this study in #JQSR (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2023.107961), we used 18'500 #mires in ten chronosequences to study how #lateralexpansion of #peat occurred over the past ten thousand years. We found that
(1) Mires occupied the wettest landscape locations within 2000 years.
(2) Lateral expansion is non-linear, and depends on landscape wetness.
