University of Waterloo: Canadian Peatland Data Portal debuts as a landmark tool for climate research and policy. “Peatlands cover upwards of 12 per cent of Canada’s landscape and store more carbon than all other ecosystems in the country combined… Yet until now, information on these critical ecosystems has been difficult to find. To address this gap, the Can-Peat Network at the University […]

Wildfires in carbon-rich tropical peatlands hit 2000-year high
Tropical peatlands, some of the planet’s largest underground carbon stores, are now burning at levels never seen in at least 2,000 years. By analyzing charcoal preserved in peat across multiple continents, scientists discovered that fires had actually been declining for more than a thousand years, largely shaped by natural climate patterns like drought. That long trend suddenly reversed in the 20th century, with a sharp surge in wildfires—especially in Southeast Asia and Australasia.
