- Boreal/arctic wetlands are dominated by diverse plant species, which vary in their contribution to CH4 production, oxidation and transport processes.
- Recent years have seen an increasing interest in hybrid constructed wetland (HCW) systems for domestic sewage treatment.
- A substantial increase in fluvial sediment supply relative to transport capacity causes complex, large-magnitude changes in river and floodplain morphology downstream.
- Shrublands occupy about 13% of the global land surface, contain about one-third of the biodiversity, store about half of the global terrestrial carbon, and provide many ecosystem services to a large amount of world's human population and livestock.
- Tropical peat forests are a globally important reservoir of carbon, but little is known about CO2 exchange on an annual basis.
