Northern wetland soil carbon - West Siberia

The West Siberia Lowland – The low-lying, flat basin between the Ural Mountains and the Yenisey River in Siberia - is the world’s largest lowland and one of the world’s great terrestrial carbon pools in the form of wetlands and peat. This project, a collaborative effort between UCLA and the Russian Academy of Sciences, has provided important new information on the extent, carbon storage, and history of peatlands across this globally significant region.
