Purpose: Peatlands are known to store significant amounts of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) globally. At the regional level, however, C stocks are often poorly assessed as peat depth variability within and among different types of individual peatlands is often ignored, and nutrient stock assessments are rare or based on limited stoichiometric assumptions.
Abstract: Here, we provide a spatially explicit regional estimate of peat C, N and P stocks based on an extensive study of 28 temperate fens, bogs and forested peatlands using detailed peat basin bathymetry.
