Land-use change causes rapid carbon losses in Congo Basin peatlands across climate scenarios, whereas the effects of climate change alone are uncertain.

One of Earth's most extensive tropical peatland complexes is in the central Congo Basin. Past climatic drying caused the widespread loss of a large proportion of the peat carbon stock, indicating its vulnerability to climate change. However, the additional effect caused by the interaction of climate change with land-us...

Insights into Holocene peat decomposition, vulnerability and vegetation change in the central Congo Basin.

Central Africa's hydroclimate has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 20 000 years, having a marked impact on both humans and ecosystems. A drying trend between approximately 5000 and 2000 years ago caused peat decomposition, carbon release and a change in forest composition in the world's largest tropic...

Environmental controls over greenhouse gas dynamics of tropical peatlands of the Central Congo Basin.

The central Congo Basin hosts the world's largest tropical peatland complex, storing 29.0 Pg of carbon, the equivalent to three years of global CO₂ emissions. These peatlands are significant natural sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs), including CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O, but the environmental controls on their emissions remain...
