I am looking forward to reading this: Multi-Decadal Dynamics of Wetland Methane Emissions Revealed by Knowledge-Guided Machine Learning. By Qing Zhu and colleagues, including @avnimalh0tra.bsky.social and @sparklemalone.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Do we have globally representative data to understand soil processes? We set out to explore this in our Letter that’s in press at Biogeochemistry link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Ideas and Perspectives: Potentially large but highly uncertain carbon dioxide emissions resulting from peat erosion

Abstract. Peatland erosion and resulting particulate organic carbon (POC) flux is an international problem that is causing loss of peat carbon to the atmosphere and contributing to climate change. Pea...

Do conservative leaf traits drive biomass allocation strategies that optimise root-zone water storage and help maintain transpiration under highly seasonal precipitation? Not sure we answer this in this paper, but at least we have results to start discussing it... doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

Global Assessment of Environmental and Plant‐Trait Influences on Root: Shoot Biomass Ratios

We assembled a large global dataset by combining several previous compilations to test eco-evolutionary optimality (EEO) hypotheses about how plants allocate carbon above- and below-ground (root: sho...

We discovered that green leaf phenology varies significantly by #peatland type and vegetation community: • Bogs reach peak greenness about 10 days later than fens. • Vegetation type and local energy balance strongly influence #phenology
