Abstract

A recent paper by Heinemeyer et al. (2018) in this journal has suggested that the use of prescribed fire may enhance carbon accumulation in UK upland blanket bogs. We challenge this finding based on a number of concerns with the original manuscript including the lack of an unburned control, insufficient replication, unrecognised potential confounding factors, and potentially large inaccuracies in the core dating approach used to calculate carbon accumulation rates. We argue that burn-management of peatlands is more likely to lead to carbon loss than carbon gain.

评论:《泥炭地碳储量和燃烧历史:地铺沼泽泥炭核心证据突出了木炭对泥炭物理性质和长期碳储量的影响》，作者:A. Heinemeyer、Q. Asena、W. L. burn和A. L. Jones (Geo:地理与环境，2018;e00063)

Heinemeyer等人(2018)最近在该杂志上发表的一篇论文表明，使用规定的火可能会增加英国高地毯状沼泽的碳积累。我们对这一发现提出了质疑，这是基于对原始手稿的一些担忧，包括缺乏未燃烧的控制，复制不足，未识别的潜在混淆因素，以及用于计算碳积累速率的岩心定年方法中潜在的巨大不准确性。我们认为，泥炭地的燃烧管理更可能导致碳损失而不是碳增加。[00075

期刊介绍： Geo is a fully open access international journal publishing original articles from across the spectrum of geographical and environmental research. Geo welcomes submissions which make a significant contribution to one or more of the journal’s aims. These are to: • encompass the breadth of geographical, environmental and related research, based on original scholarship in the sciences, social sciences and humanities; • bring new understanding to and enhance communication between geographical research agendas, including human-environment interactions, global North-South relations and academic-policy exchange; • advance spatial research and address the importance of geographical enquiry to the understanding of, and action about, contemporary issues; • foster methodological development, including collaborative forms of knowledge production, interdisciplinary approaches and the innovative use of quantitative and/or qualitative data sets; • publish research articles, review papers, data and digital humanities papers, and commentaries which are of international significance.
