  • Two scripts for classifying remotely sensed data used to produce maps of peatland distribution and predicted peat thickness, using random forest classification and regression. Written in JavaScript for use with Google Earth Engine. These are versions of the scripts used in Hastie et al. (2022), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-022-00923-4. Users should also cite Rodríguez-Veiga et al. (2020), https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12152380 . Full details about this application can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/e337de58-df5e-4412-8aef-28875870f965

  • Spatial datasets of predicted land cover, peatland extent, peat thickness and peatland carbon storage for the Lowland Peruvian Amazon. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/db3de2d7-b094-4d15-a40b-edb618ede889

  • Ecosystem productivity data primarily from two forest census plots, NYO-03 and VEN-02, located in the Pastaza-Marañón Basin in Amazonian Peru. Site NYO-03 is a peatland pole forest, and Site VEN-02 is a palm swamp. The aim of the measurements was to estimate and compare rates of litter and root production and decay at the two sites, over a complete annual cycle, in order to understand the dynamics of carbon accumulation in peat in this region. Selected datasets extend to other sites, in order to provide some context for the measurements from NYO-03 and VEN-02. Downcore data from peat cores from the sites provide palaeoecological information. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/e34dc4c7-57d8-4120-921b-06d2f25d5e04

  • Data on peat depth from >250 locations in the Pastaza-Marañón Basin, Amazonian Peru. The data were collected during a series of field campaigns in 2019 and 2020. These data, along with similar data collected under other projects, were used to train a predictive model of peat distribution. Locations of a small number of other sites are given without peat depth measurements (i.e. with NA in the column Peat_depth_cm); these sites relate to data reported elsewhere in the ‘Carbon Storage in Amazonian Peatlands’ data collection. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/ab13a06f-392f-4bc6-b1bf-06dd8b020307

  • Automated measurements of water level and temperature at half-hourly intervals spanning parts of 2018, 2019 and 2020, from seven wetland sites in the Pastaza-Marañón Basin, Amazonian Peru.
