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 …

Protists are the most diverse eukaryotes. These microbes are keystone organisms of soil
ecosystems and regulate essential processes of soil fertility such as nutrient cycling and …

Sphagnum wetlands are global hotspots for carbon storage, conventionally attributed to the
accumulation of decay-resistant litter. However, the buildup of mineral-associated organic …

Climate warming affects soil carbon (C) dynamics, with possible serious consequences for
soil C stocks and atmospheric CO2 concentrations. However, the mechanisms underlying …

Soil phosphatase enzymes are produced by plant roots and microorganisms and play a key
role in the cycling of phosphorus (P), an often‐limiting element in terrestrial ecosystems. The …

Allelopathy is described as the interference to plant growth resulting from chemical
interactions among plants and other organisms mediated through release of plant-produced …

Soil photoautotrophic prokaryotes and micro‐eukaryotes–known as soil algae–are, together
with heterotrophic microorganisms, a constitutive part of the microbiome in surface soils …

The composition of a peatland plant community has considerable effect on a range of
ecosystem functions. Peatland plant community structure is predicted to change under future …

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+ …

Soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stoichiometry is a main driver of ecosystem functioning.
Global N enrichment has greatly changed soil C: N ratios, but how altered resource …
