泥炭地は重要な炭素吸収源であるが、その長期的な蓄積は機械的不安定性によって制約される可能性がある。本研究では、生態水文学的・機械的プロセスを統合した2次元モデルを提示し、斜面勾配0°から12°の景観における泥炭成長の機械的限界を評価する。応力分布のシミュレーションと報告された引張・せん断強度の比較により、泥炭体が不安定になる深さ閾値を特定し、ボグバーストや泥炭滑りなどの観測された破壊モードを予測する。機械的制約により、世界の泥炭蓄積は現在の体積の1.48倍に制限され、将来の炭素隔離シナリオで想定される1.71倍を大幅に下回ることが示された。泥炭地の回復と気候緩和戦略に機械的閾値を組み込む必要性を強調している。

Peatlands are vital carbon sinks, but their long-term accumulation may be constrained by mechanical instability. This study presents a fully coupled 2D model integrating ecohydrological and mechanical processes to assess mechanical limits to peat growth across slopes from 0° to 12°. By simulating stress distributions and comparing to reported strengths, it identifies depth thresholds for instability and predicts failure modes like bog bursts and peat slides. Mechanical constraints limit global peat accumulation to 1.48 times current volume, below the 1.71-fold increase assumed in future carbon sequestration scenarios. The findings highlight the need to incorporate mechanical thresholds into peatland restoration and climate mitigation strategies.

In the global GX context
Globally, this research informs climate mitigation strategies by highlighting that peatland carbon storage potential may be overestimated without considering mechanical thresholds. It underscores the need to integrate geotechnical constraints into carbon sequestration projections and restoration planning, relevant for international climate policy and nature-based solutions.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Peatlands are vital carbon sinks, yet their long-term accumulation may be constrained by mechanical instability. Here we present a fully coupled two-dimensional model integrating ecohydrological and mechanical processes to assess the mechanical limits to peat growth across landscapes with slope angles from 0° to 12°. By simulating stress distributions and comparing them to reported tensile and shear strength values, we identify the peat depth thresholds beyond which peat bodies become unstable. The model predicts observed failure modes, including bog bursts and peat slides, and reveals that many peatlands may reach mechanical failure before achieving their projected carbon storage capacity. In this work, we show that mechanical constraints limit global peat accumulation to 1.48 times its current volume, significantly below the 1.71-fold increase assumed in future carbon sequestration scenarios. These findings highlight the need to incorporate mechanical thresholds into peatland restoration and climate mitigation strategies.
