Purpose: The hydro-physical properties of peat play a pivotal role in regulating the water, nutrient, and carbon cycles of peatland ecosystems. However, our understanding of peat hydraulic properties remains limited, especially at a global perspective. In this study, we compiled a comprehensive global database of the peat physical, hydraulic, and chemical properties, including bulk density (BD), porosity, macroporosity, saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), carbon content, and carbon density, encompassing tropical peatlands, boreal and temperate fens and bogs, and permafrost regions.
Abstract: This dataset contains soil properties (bulk density, carbon content, carbon density, porosity, macroporosity, saturated hydraulic conductivity) of peat from tropical peatlands, boreal and temperate fens and bogs, and permarfrost peatlands.
