| Under 2018 conditions, land-use disturbance corresponds to a potential European wetland soil-carbon storage difference of 0.8–4.9 Gt CO2-equivalent, not an annual emissions rate. | QUANTITATIVE | Leans supported | 0.7146 | 1 of 4 | 127 |
| The study estimates that anthropogenic disturbance affects 20.4 ± 3.4% of Europe’s wetland area, with 13.6 ± 3.0% classified as most disturbed. | QUANTITATIVE | Leans supported | 0.6128 | 1 of 4 | 153 |
| In the study’s 2018 European map, an estimated 27–33% of wetland area occurred in map-defined patches smaller than 25 hectares and 7–11% in patches smaller than 1 hectare. | QUANTITATIVE | Supported | 0.9381 | 1 of 4 | 186 |
| The study mapped six natural and seminatural open wetland types across large parts of Europe at 10-m resolution, estimating 413,504 ± 17,782 km2 with overall accuracy of 96.6 ± 0.3%. | QUANTITATIVE | Leans supported | 0.7146 | 1 of 4 | 187 |
