Environmental correlates of peatland carbon fluxes in a thawing landscape: do transitional thaw stages matter?

Peatlands in discontinuous permafrost regions occur as a mosaic of wetland types, each with variable sensitivity to climate change. Permafrost thaw further increases the spatial heterogeneity in ecosystem structure and function in peatlands. Carbon (C) fluxes are well characterized in end-member tha...
