Introduction The Response of Peatland CO and CH Fluxes to 2 4 While peatlands represent only 3% of the earth’s total Experimental Warming and the Carbon Balance* land area, they store 30% of the planet’s soil carbon. research article summarizes the results of a peatland The typically cold, acidic and water logged conditions warming experiment performed by an interdisciplinary of wetlands restrict carbon emissions into the atmos- team of scientists from the Université d’Orléans. The phere that can be caused by decomposition of their authors hypothesized that the warming treatment soil organic matter. In addition, wetland ecosystems would promote the carbon input to peatland through absorb CO through photosynthesis, which photosynthesis, while releasing carbon into the 2 contributes to turning them into carbon sinks under
