Anthropogenic peatland degradation is a global threat. As peatlands store large amounts of
carbon (C) their potential for mitigation of climate change has been emphasized recently …

Many peatlands have been damaged by human activities like Sphagnum harvesting and
draining reflected in reduced peatland areas and ecosystem functioning. Peatlands …

The policy and practice of ecological restoration and conservation in China obtained some
remarkable results. For example, Sphagnum moss growing on abandoned farmland, which …

Biogenic silicon (BSi) has been found to play a fundamental role in the link between global
Si and carbon cycles, because it represents a key factor in the control of Si fluxes from …

Large areas of tropical rainforest are being converted to agricultural and plantation land
uses, but little is known of biodiversity and ecological functioning under these replacement …

Soil testate amoebae are cosmopolitan and abundant protozoa, and accumulate silica for
reproduction. Their effect on the terrestrial silica cycle, however, has not been quantitatively …

Biogenic silicon (BSi) pools influence Si cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. As research has
been focused mainly on phytogenic BSi pools until now, there is only little information …

The terrestrial cycling of Si is thought to have a large influence on the terrestrial and marine
primary production, as well as the coupled biogeochemical cycles of Si and C …

The dataset in the present article provides information on protozoic silicon (Si) pools
represented by euglyphid testate amoebae (TA) in soils of initial and forested …

Climate change is likely to cause increased tree recruitment on open peatlands but we
currently have little idea what consequences this vegetation change may have below …
