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 …

Long‐term carbon and nitrogen dynamics in peatlands are affected by both vegetation
production and decomposition processes. Here, we examined the carbon accumulation rate …

Ecosystems are increasingly prone to climate extremes, such as drought, with long‐lasting
effects on both plant and soil communities and, subsequently, on carbon (C) cycling …

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 …

Sphagnum mosses are considered peatland engineers because of their ability to create
conditions inducing carbon accumulation. Here, we report on a review of the effects of four …

In northern peatlands, reduction of Sphagnum dominance in favour of vascular vegetation is
likely to influence biogeochemical processes. Such vegetation changes occur as the water …

Peatlands store one‐third of Earth's soil carbon, the stability of which is uncertain due to
climate change‐driven shifts in hydrology and vegetation, and consequent impacts on …

Carbon accumulation and storage is a defining characteristic of peatland ecosystems.
Decomposition of peat releases dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to receiving waters and …

Peatlands are long-term sinks of atmospheric carbon (C) largely due to water-saturated soil
conditions, decay-resistant plant litter, and the presence of biochemical compounds such as …

Fungi play a pivotal role in the carbon sequestration potential of boreal peatlands through
the process of decomposition. As such, climate-driven changes in the diversity and …
