Nitrogen (N) is used in many of life's fundamental biomolecules, and it is also a participant in
environmental redox chemistry. Biogeochemical processes control the amount and form of N …

Extracellular enzymes, primarily produced by microorganisms, affect ecosystem processes
because of their essential roles in degradation, transformation and mineralization of organic …

The carbon balance of peatlands is predicted to shift from a sink to a source this century.
However, peatland ecosystems are still omitted from the main Earth system models that are …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is recognized for its importance in freshwater ecosystems,
but historical reliance on DOM quantity rather than indicators of DOM composition has led to …

Biologically essential elements–especially nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)–constrain plant
growth and microbial functioning; however, human activities are drastically altering the …

We explore the role of lakes in carbon cycling and global climate, examine the mechanisms
influencing carbon pools and transformations in lakes, and discuss how the metabolism of …

Climate warming and human impacts are thought to be causing peatlands to dry, potentially
converting them from sinks to sources of carbon. However, it is unclear whether the …

Peatlands form important landscape elements in many parts of the world and play significant
roles for biodiversity and global carbon balance. This new edition has been fully revised and …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 819–828 Abstract Nitrogen (N) effects on ecosystem carbon (C)
budgets are critical to understand as C sequestration is considered as a mechanism to offset …

Simple Summary Minimizing the effects of climate change by reducing GHG emissions is
crucial and can be accomplished by truly understanding the carbon footprint phenomenon …
