Peatland warming strongly increases fine-root growth
A Malhotra, DJ Brice, J Childs… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
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 …

Fine‐root functional trait responses to experimental warming: a global meta‐analysis
Whether and how warming alters functional traits of absorptive plant roots remains to be
answered across the globe. Tackling this question is crucial to better understanding …

Vascular plants promote ancient peatland carbon loss with climate warming
TN Walker, MH Garnett, SE Ward… - Global Change …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Northern peatlands have accumulated one third of the Earth's soil carbon stock since the last
Ice Age. Rapid warming across northern biomes threatens to accelerate rates of peatland …

Fine Root Growth and Vertical Distribution in Response to Elevated CO2, Warming and Drought in a Mixed Heathland–Grassland
Belowground plant responses have received much less attention in climate change
experiments than aboveground plant responses, thus hampering a holistic understanding of …

Whole-ecosystem warming increases plant-available nitrogen and phosphorus in an ombrotrophic bog
CM Iversen, J Latimer, DJ Brice, J Childs… - Ecosystems, 2023 - Springer
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 …

Potential effects of warming and drying on peatland plant community composition
Boreal peatlands may be particularly vulnerable to climate change, because temperature
regimes that currently constrain biological activity in these regions are predicted to increase …

Biogeochemical plant–soil microbe feedback in response to climate warming in peatlands
Peatlands act as global sinks of atmospheric carbon (C) through the accumulation of organic
matter, primarily made up of decay-resistant litter of peat mosses. However, climate warming …

Responses of tree fine roots to temperature
KS Pregitzer, JS King, AJ Burton, SE Brown - New Phytologist, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
Soil temperature can influence the functioning of roots in many ways. If soil moisture and
nutrient availability are adequate, rates of root length extension and root mortality increase …

Rewetting offers rapid climate benefits for tropical and agricultural peatlands but not for forestry‐drained peatlands
P Ojanen, K Minkkinen - Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Peat soils drained for agriculture and forestry are important sources of carbon dioxide and
nitrous oxide. Rewetting effectively reduces these emissions. However, rewetting also …

Rapid carbon response of peatlands to climate change
Peatlands comprise a globally important carbon pool whose input–output budgets may be
significantly altered by climate change. To experimentally determine the sensitivity of the …
