Refining CO2 Emission Estimates from Drained Peatlands

This research investigates updated CO2 emission estimates from peatlands, addressing limitations in current IPCC factors. Key analyses include refined Tier 1 and Tier 3 emission factors, which account for seasonal and climatic variability. A global dataset of 22 studies highlights bias in prior sources, with improved methods leading to revised regional emissions for eastern Canada. These findings have significant implications for taxation, carbon policies, and peatland industry regulations....
