Zhang, H, Väliranta, M, Swindles, GT et al. (38 more authors) (2022) Recent climate change has driven divergent hydrological shifts in high-latitude peatlands. Nature Communications, 13 (1). 4959. ISSN 2041-1723
Abstract
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba data from 103 high-latitude peat archives. We show that 54% of the peatlands have been drying and 32% have been wetting over this period, illustrating the complex ecohydrological dynamics of high latitude peatlands and their highly uncertain responses to a warming climate.
