Peatlands form important landscape elements in many parts of the world and play significant
roles for biodiversity and global carbon balance. This new edition has been fully revised and …

We studied the effects of N deposition on shrub–moss competition and the establishment
and growth of invasive Betula pubescens and Molinia caerulea in intact bog vegetation …

Summary 1 In order to test whether the observed invasion of ombrotrophic bogs in the
Netherlands by Molinia caerulea and Betula pubescens is the result of long‐term high …

All wetland ecosystems are controlled by water table and soil saturation dynamics, so any
local-scale deviation in soil elevation and thus water table position represents variability in …

Aim Hydroclimatic shifts and anthropogenic‐driven nitrogen deposition are major outcomes
of global change that could compromise the functioning of many peatlands as a carbon sink …

Foundation species provide habitat to other organisms and enhance ecosystem functions,
such as nutrient cycling, carbon storage and sequestration, and erosion control. We focus on …

Hydrological conditions play a key role in the carbon cycle of northern peatlands. This study
examines the evapotranspiration (ET) dynamics and its impact on the water and energy …

Wetlands are ubiquitous over the globe, comprise a vast array of ecosystem types and are of
great ecological and social importance. Their functioning is intimately tied to the atmosphere …

Surface and atmospheric controls on latent heat flux (QE) and energy partitioning were
assessed during three growing seasons at the Mer Bleue peat bog. The surface consisted of …

Northern peatlands are globally important long‐term sinks of carbon due to their
predominantly saturated conditions. However, these ecosystems are expected to become …
