Table 5 Belowground carbon burial rates of peat layers

Loc. no.	Depth (cm)	Span of accumulation		Stored C (kg C m⁻²)	C burial rate (g m⁻² years⁻¹)
Loc. no.	Depth (cm)	From–to	Years	Stored C (kg C m⁻²)	C burial rate (g m⁻² years⁻¹)
SKB-1	0–345	BC1010–AD2005	3015	103	34
SKB-5	50–382	AD370¹⁾–AD1740	1370	144	105
SKB-5	382–456.5	BC210–AD370	580	35	61
SKB-6	0–333.5	BC2080–AD2005	4085	127	31
SDB-1	0–185	AD1360–AD2006	646	49	76
	185–585	BC2520–AD1360	3880	104	27
	585–917.5	BC4020–BC2520	1500	86	57

¹The age of the horizon at 50 cm deep at SKB-5 was estimated under assumption that the peat accumulation rate was constant since AD1740
