Extreme drought makes peatlands lose carbon much faster, and this loss is worsened by both warming and elevated CO₂. Climate change will significantly amplify carbon emissions from peatlands in the future. 🌡️🔥 #ClimateChange #Peatlands #CarbonCycle

Extreme drought events are predicted to increase with climate change, yet their impacts on ecosystem carbon dynamics under warming and elevated carbon dioxide (eCO<sub>2</sub>) remain unclear. In a peatland experiment with five warming treatments each under ambient carbon dioxide (aCO<sub>2</sub>) a …
