Using remote sensing to map degraded mountain peatlands with high climate mitigation potential in Colombia's Central Cordillera
Peatlands are the most carbon-dense ecosystems on earth. In tropical mountains, peatlands are numerous and susceptible to rapid degradation and carbon loss after human disturbances. Quantifying where peatlands are located and how they are affected by land use is key in creating a baseline of carbon...
