A Large Amazonian Peatland Carbon Sink Was Eliminated by Photoinhibition of Photosynthesis and Amplified Ecosystem Respiration

Abstract The fate of tropical peatland carbon cycling under environmental change is highly uncertain. We found that a palm swamp peatland in the Peruvian Amazon that was a strong annual sink for 2 years switched to carbon neutral in the absence of a major anthropogenic disturbance. We attributed the...
