The effects of increased nitrogen influx on Sphagnum growth and on interspecific
competition between Sphagnum species were studied in a 3-yr experiment in mires situated …

The response of evapotranspiration (ET) to warming is of critical importance to the water and
carbon cycle of the boreal biome, a mosaic of land cover types dominated by forests and …

Northern peatlands provide important global and regional ecosystem services (carbon
storage, water storage, and biodiversity). However, these ecosystems face increases in 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 …

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 …

Bryophytes are a successful group of non-flowering land plants that mostly avoid
competition with tracheophytes. Many bryophytes grow on substrata that are impenetrable to …

The genus Sphagnum is the key peat‐forming bryophyte in boreal ecosystems. Relying
entirely on passive capillary action for water transport, soil moisture is often the limiting factor …

Peatlands often have readily apparent gradients of plant species distributions,
biogeochemistry, and hydrology across several spatial scales. Many inferences have been …

1. We separated the effects of plant species controls on decomposition rates from
environmental controls in northern peatlands using a full factorial, reciprocal transplant …

The response of photosynthetic CO2 exchange to tissue water content in five spp. of
Sphagnum from contrasting microhabitats (S. fuscum (Schimp.) Klinggr., S. papillosum H …
