Climate Warming and Deglaciation Drive New Peat Formation in the Southern Alps, Aotearoa/New Zealand First evidence of peat initiation under late-20th century warming in a deglaciating montane valley in the Southern Hemisphere Consistent timing and direction of palaeoecological changes indicates...

These shifts - driven by rising temperatures and changing plant communities - have big implications for carbon storage & high-altitude ecosystems. Exciting findings, but there’s more to explore!

Huge thanks to the team! 2/2🧵
