Rapid net carbon loss from a whole‐ecosystem warmed peatland
To evaluate boreal peatland C losses from warming, novel technologies were used to
expose intact bog plots in northern Minnesota to a range of future temperatures (+ 0° C to+ …

Rapid loss of an ecosystem engineer: Sphagnum decline in an experimentally warmed bog
Sphagnum mosses are keystone components of peatland ecosystems. They facilitate the
accumulation of carbon in peat deposits, but climate change is predicted to expose peatland …

Effects of water level alteration on carbon cycling in peatlands
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 …

Whole-ecosystem warming increases plant-available nitrogen and phosphorus in an ombrotrophic bog
Warming is expected to increase the net release of carbon from peatland soils, contributing
to future warming. This positive feedback may be moderated by the response of peatland …
