Assessing future vulnerability of the global peatland carbon sink

This research paper examines the necessity of integrating peatland science into Earth System Models and Integrated Assessment Models to improve climate change predictions, noting that peatlands are predicted to transition from carbon sinks to carbon sources within the current century.

• Peatlands are projected to transition from being a carbon sink to a carbon source during the current century.
• Peatland ecosystems are currently excluded from the primary Earth System Models used for climate projections and are not included in Integrated Assessment Models used for mitigation and impact studies.
