Early organic carbon and nitrogen accumulation in a Pyrenean site: From rock to peat across the Late Glacial–Early Holocene transition

Understanding carbon-climate feedbacks during past climate transitions is critical to projecting long-term Earthsystem responses. Peatlands, though covering only 3–4 % of the terrestrial surface, play a disproportionate role in the global carbon cycle. Yet, Late Glacial peatlands in southern Europe
