Abstract
Understanding peat carbon sequestration on Earth
Highlights
Peats represent a large, and often active, carbon (C) pool in the land-atmosphere system
The C-PEAT launch workshop focused on three overarching themes: (1) the controls on peat formation; (2) the estimates of peat C stocks and accumulation rates in Earth history; and (3) the future trajectories of peat C stocks
This C-PEAT workshop focused on tropical peatlands, buried peats, deep-time peats and coals, and peat vulnerability (Fig. 1)
Summary
Often active, carbon (C) pool in the land-atmosphere system. The C-PEAT launch workshop focused on three overarching themes: (1) the controls on peat formation (why is there peat?); (2) the estimates of peat C stocks and accumulation rates in Earth history; and (3) the future trajectories of peat C stocks. Short presentations were followed by plenary and breakout group discussions.
