[Response: If the rise in atmospheric CO2 at the end of the last glacial time had come from organic carbon (trees, peat, dissolved organic matter in the ocean) or especially methane (which is even more isotopically «light» than CO2) it would have left an isotopic signature.

Because the carbon that stimulates methane production is primarily dissolved organic carbon carried downward through the peat by rainwater rather than the solid - phase carbon that forms peat, this change in transport depth doubled the peak production zones for methane.

In a new study, Coleman Wasik et al. address the potential of peat bogs to release mercury — particularly its most common organic form, methylmercury.

Several metres of peat or other organic sediments lock CO2 into the system under anaerobic regimes until humans decide to unlock it.

Hergoualc» h explains that in their natural state, peatlands are flooded for part of the year, leading to a slow decomposition of organic matter deposited by plants, and eventual accumulation of carbon in the form of peat.

Composed of waterlogged organic material that has built up over millennia, even relatively small areas of peat acts like super storehouses for carbon.

Not at all, organic material (e. g. peat, tree stumps, pollen, organic lake deposits) from the Eemian is quite common and widespread.

These regions are crucial to the global carbon cycle because they are rich in soil organic carbon, which has built up in frozen soils and peat layers over thousands of years.

Current thinking suggests that as the permanently frozen peat thaws, microbial action will work on the dead organic matter.

Methane hydrates — methane molecules trapped in frozen water molecule cages in tundra and on continental shelves — and organic matter such as peat locked in frozen soils (permafrost) are likely mechanisms in the past hyperthermals, and they provide another climate feedback with the potential to amplify global warming if large scale thawing occurs [209]--[210].

Indonesian forests are home to roughly 60 percent of the world's tropical peatlands, where decayed vegetation or organic matter has accumulated in the soil layers and created peat deposits that can be up to 10 meters deep.
