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 …

Boreal peatlands store a disproportionately large quantity of soil carbon (C) and play a
critical role within the global C-climate system; however, with climatic warming, these C …

Belowground climate change responses remain a key unknown in the Earth system. Plant
fine-root response is especially important to understand because fine roots respond quickly …

After a period of heavy emphasis on negative interactions, such as predation and
competition, the past two decades have seen an explosion of literature on the role of positive …

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 …

Climate change affects peatlands directly through increased air temperatures and indirectly
through changes in water‐table level (WL). The interactions of these two still remain poorly …

Natural ecosystems are experiencing unprecedented rates of change due to anthropogenic
activities and global change, leading to either gradual changes in a given response or …

Invasive tree species decrease ecosystem resilience with negative impacts on natural
regeneration. The influence of alien tree species on ecosystems is unevenly recognized and …

Global climate change is influencing the seasonal cycle amplitude of atmospheric CO2
(SCA), with the strongest increases at northern high latitudes (NHL;> 45° N). In this Review …

Drainage‐induced encroachment by trees may have major effects on the carbon balance of
northern peatlands, and responses of microbial communities are likely to play a central …
