Microorganisms play vital roles in modulating organic matter decomposition and nutrient
cycling in soil ecosystems. The enzyme latch paradigm posits microbial degradation of …

Peatlands store vast amounts of organic carbon, amounting to approximately 455 Pg.
Carbon builds up in these water-saturated environments owing to the presence of phenolic …

Northern peatlands play a crucial role in the global carbon balance, serving as a persistent
sink for atmospheric CO 2 and a global carbon store. Their most extensive type, Sphagnum …

Soils in boreal forests contain large stocks of carbon. Plants are the main source of this
carbon through tissue residues and root exudates. A major part of the exudates are …

Chemical contamination of natural and agricultural habitats is an increasing global problem
and a major threat to sustainability and human health. Organophosphorus (OP) compounds …

Metagenomic sequencing provides a window into microbial community structure and
metabolic potential; however, linking these data to exogenous metabolites that …

There have been widespread attempts to rewet peatlands in Europe and elsewhere in the
world to restore their unique biodiversity as well as their important function as nutrient and …

One model of a disease‐suppressive soil predicts that the confrontation of plant with a
phytopathogen can lead to the recruitment and accumulation of beneficial microorganisms …

Northern peatlands store ca. 1/3 of the world's soil organic carbon and this is attributed to
low decomposition rates as a result of waterlogged, anaerobic conditions and high levels of …

Even though large extents of boreal peatlands are still in a pristine condition, especially in
North America, extensive areas have been affected by natural or anthropogenic …
