• A thorough assessment of the challenges involved in incorporating carbon cycling in northern peatlands into global climate models;
• A conceptual model to examine the partitioning of terminal carbon mineralization into production of CO2 and CH4;
• A comprehensive review of the evidence for the accumulation of methane in deep and shallow peat; and
• A description of the hydrologic changes induced by peat harvesting and associated challenges in restoring altered peatlands to their natural hydrologic regime.

Carbon Cycling in Northern Peatlands will be of interest to research scientists and graduate and undergraduate students, particularly those who wish to know more about the role of peatlands in the global carbon cycle and their role as modifiers of climate.
