Ideas and Perspectives: Potentially large but highly uncertain carbon dioxide emissions resulting from peat erosion
Abstract. Peatland erosion and resulting particulate organic carbon (POC) flux is an international problem that is causing loss of peat carbon to the atmosphere and contributing to climate change. Pea...

Do conservative leaf traits drive biomass allocation strategies that optimise root-zone water storage and help maintain transpiration under highly seasonal precipitation? Not sure we answer this in this paper, but at least we have results to start discussing it...

We discovered that green leaf phenology varies significantly by

type and vegetation community: • Bogs reach peak greenness about 10 days later than fens. • Vegetation type and local energy balance strongly influence

The problem is that some people will use this as personal justification for submitting a review written solely by LLMs (&even then I have issues with the article's message) I've already seen this happen its frustrating & time consuming as an author to deal with these useless LLM generated reviews

N affects the C cycle. But how? Although N cycling is now included in many global vegetation models, C cycle trends remain uncertain. We demonstrate how theory predicts widely observed patterns in experiments and traits data - ready for adoption in models.
