Where is the citation for this 15% of carbon emissions figure? That is a whole lot of Carbon eh? Furthermore, is the combined carbon content of the peatlands forest+soil=carbon>forests of world? I suppose, what I'm getting to, is how does peatland soil compare to, say, the carbon rich soil of temperate forests? How does this equation work out: peatland forest carbon+peatland soil carbon=temperate forest carbon+temperate soil carbon?
