Global climate is changing faster than humankind has ever experienced. Model-based
predictions of future climate are becoming more complex and precise, but they still lack …

Open top chambers (OTCs) were adopted as the recommended warming mechanism by the
International Tundra Experiment network in the early 1990s. Since then, OTCs have been …

A major aim of ecology is to upscale attributes of individuals to understand processes at
population, community and ecosystem scales. Such attributes are typically described using …

Bryophytes, including the lineages of mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, are the second‐
largest photoautotroph group on Earth. Recent work across terrestrial ecosystems has …

Peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Sphagnum mosses (peat mosses)
are considered to be the peatland ecosystem engineers and contribute to the carbon …

The established paradigm assumes that drainage may decrease the vast soil organic
carbon (SOC) reservoir in global wetlands. Yet drainage can also promote SOC stabilization …

Globally, peatlands play an important role in the carbon (C) cycle. High water level is a key
factor in maintaining C storage in peatlands, but water levels are vulnerable to climate …

Mosses of the genus Sphagnum are the dominant vegetation in most pristine peatlands in
temperate and high‐latitude regions. They play a crucial role in carbon sequestration, being …

Peat mosses (Sphagnum spp.) are keystone species in boreal peatlands, where they
dominate net primary productivity and facilitate the accumulation of carbon in thick peat …

The relative importance of global versus local environmental factors for growth and thus
carbon uptake of the bryophyte genus Sphagnum—the main peat‐former and ecosystem …
