Arctic permafrost soils store large amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC) that could be
released into the atmosphere as methane (CH4) in a future warmer climate. How warming …

This study examines the recovery of the microbial compartment following active restoration
of a North American ombrotrophic peatland extracted for horticultural peat-based substrates …

Large tracts of arctic and subarctic peatlands are underlain by permafrost. These peatlands
store large quantities of carbon (C), and are currently under severe threat from climate …

The extent to which complex interrelationships between plants and microorganisms
influence organic matter dynamics is critical to our understanding of global C cycles in …

Due to their unique flora, hydrology and environmental characteristics, peatlands are
precious and specific habitats for microorganisms and microscopic animals. Their microbial …

Climate change will affect semiarid ecosystems through severe droughts that increase the
competition for resources in plant and microbial communities. In these habitats, adaptations …

Peatlands contain approximately one third of all soil organic carbon (SOC). Warming can
alter above‐and belowground linkages that regulate soil organic carbon dynamics and C …

Microorganisms are important components of soil ecosystems and play an important role in
material cycles. Northern peatlands are important ecosystems in middle-high latitude …

Peatlands store globally significant amounts of carbon and are important sources of the
greenhouse gas methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. However, for reasons which are not well …

Worldwide, regularly recurring wildfires shape many peatland ecosystems to the extent that
fire‐adapted species often dominate plant communities, suggesting that wildfire is an …
