Arctic and alpine tundra ecosystems are warming rapidly, yet measurements of how they release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere remain scarce. We compiled field measurements of ecosystem respiration from warming experiments across tundra regions worldwide. By combining respiration data with information on climate, vegetation, and soils, this database improves our ability to understand and predict how tundra carbon cycling responds to climate warming and feeds back to the global climate system.

Peatlands are large stores of carbon but are vulnerable to human activities and climate change. Comprehensive peatland data are vital to understand these ecosystems, but existing datasets are fragmented and contain errors. To address this, we created Peat-DBase – a standardized global database of peat depth measurements with > 200 000 measurements worldwide, showing median depths of 130 cm. Peat-DBase avoids overlapping data compilation efforts while identifying critical observational gaps.

Our research investigates how plant community composition influences methane emissions in a northern boreal rich fen. We measured methane fluxes year-round using manual chambers across 36 plots. Our findings suggest that sedges, particularly Carex rostrata, significantly impact the fluxes throughout the year. This study enhances our understanding of vegetation-driven methane emissions, providing valuable insights for predicting future changes in peatland methane emissions.

We studied a peatland in northern Poland to see how climate and natural ecosystem changes shaped it over the past 11,500 years. By analysing preserved plants and microscopic life, we found clear shifts in wetness linked to climate and internal development. This longest complete peat record in the region shows how peatlands help us understand long-term environmental change and their future resilience to climate change.

The long-term effects of alkalinisation upon peatland ecosystem functioning remains poorly understood. Using palaeoecological techniques, we show that intensive cement dust pollution altered vegetation cover and reduced carbon storage in an Estonian peatland. Changes also occurred during the 13th century following agricultural intensification. These shifts occurred following substantial as well as small but sustained increases in alkalinity. Limited recovery was evident ~30 years post-pollution.

Western Siberian peatlands regulate global climate, but their response to permafrost thaw remains poorly studied. Our study analyzed peat cores from a peat plateau and a lake edge to track changes over two centuries. We found that permafrost thawing, driven by rising temperatures, altered peatland hydrology, vegetation, and microbial life. These shifts may expand with further warming, affecting carbon storage and climate feedbacks. Our findings highlight early warning signs of ecosystem change.

We integrated palaeoecological and geochemical data to discern the impact of catastrophic events on the development of peatlands within pine monocultures. An approach that integrates these methods is not commonly employed but offers a more comprehensive understanding of past ecosystem transformations. We used multi-proxy research of the peat core and neodymium isotope record. We support the results of our analyses with the recognition of statistically significant critical transitions.

The study combines palaeoecological, dendrochronological, remote sensing and historical data to detect the impact of forest management and climate change on peatlands. Due to these changes, the peatland studied in this paper and the pine monoculture surrounding it have become vulnerable to water deficits and various types of disturbance, such as fires and pest infestations. As a result of forest management, there has also been a complete change in the vegetation composition of the peatland.

We provide a new global data set of charcoal preserved in sediments that can be used to examine how fire regimes have changed during past millennia and to investigate what caused these changes. The individual records have been standardised, and new age models have been constructed to allow better comparison across sites. The data set contains 1681 records from 1477 sites worldwide.

In 2014 and 2015, the Danish government scanned the whole of Denmark using laser scanners on planes. The information can help biologists learn more about Denmark's natural environment. To make it easier to access the outputs from the scan, we divided the country into 10 m x 10 m squares and summed up the information most relevant to biologists for each square. The result is a set of 70 maps describing the three-dimensional architecture of the Danish landscape and vegetation.

Phosphorus (P) is essential for life. We studied microbial processes driving the P cycle in soils developed on the same rock but with different ages (0–100 years) in a cold desert. Compared to previous studies under cold climate, we found much slower weathering of P-containing minerals of soil development, likely due to aridity. However, microbes dominate short-term dynamics and progressively redistribute P from the rock into more available forms, making it available for plants at later stages.

Short summary
We developed an up-to-date European map of groundwater pH and Ca (the major determinants of diversity of wetlands) based on 7577 measurements. In comparison to the existing maps, we included much a larger data set from the regions rich in endangered wetland habitats, filled the apparent gaps in eastern and southeastern Europe, and applied geospatial modelling. The latitudinal and altitudinal gradients were rediscovered with much refined regional patterns, as is associated with bedrock variation.
