Carbon is absorbed as peatland plants grow, and eventually turns into peat itself, but at the same time decomposing plants and microbes release it, so it is a fine balance.

Warming: Peatlands will store more carbon initially, but that will change
Date:September 10, 2018Source:University of QueenslandSummary:Peatlands are extremely effective at storing carbon, but an international study has found climate change could stop that. The group investigated how peatlands - swamps and bogs with organic rich soils - have responded to climate variability between 850 BCE and 1850 CE.
