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 …

Sphagnum mosses are considered peatland engineers because of their ability to create
conditions inducing carbon accumulation. Here, we report on a review of the effects of four …

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 …

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 …

Ericaceous shrubs adapt to the nutrient‐poor conditions in ombrotrophic peatlands by
forming symbiotic associations with ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) fungi. Increased nutrient …

Ombrotrophic bogs are nutrient-poor systems and important carbon (C) sinks yet there
remains a dearth of information on the belowground stoichiometry of C, nitrogen (N) …

Mires (bogs and fens) are nutrient‐limited peatland ecosystems, the vegetation of which is
especially sensitive to nitrogen deposition and climate change. The role of mires in the …

We examined the concentration of nitrogen (N) and δ 15 N in vegetation and peat in the Mer
Bleue bog, Ontario, Canada. Compared with other ecosystems, N concentration in bog plant …

We report results from a long‐term experiment in which additional nitrogen has been
deposited on a peat bog in central Scotland for over 14 years, in three different forms: as …

High-latitude warming is increasing soil temperatures and driving permafrost thaw,
potentially altering soil nutrient conditions by enhancing microbial mineralization and …
