The holobiont Holobiont theory is more than 80 years old, while the importance of microbial
communities for plant holobionts was already identified by Lorenz Hiltner more than a …

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 …

Peat mosses (Sphagnum spp.) are keystone species in boreal peatlands, where they
dominate net primary productivity and facilitate the accumulation of carbon in thick peat …

Northern peatlands store a large amount of carbon in the form of partially decomposed
organic matter. Because the majority of northern peatlands are located in remote areas …

Purpose This study was conducted to understand the effects of water and nitrogen (N) on net
root productivity, root longevity, root length, and canopy characteristics of cotton (Gossypium …

Ericaceous shrubs adapt to the nutrient‐poor conditions in ombrotrophic peatlands by
forming symbiotic associations with ericoid mycorrhizal (ERM) fungi. Increased nutrient …

Boreal peatlands are important global carbon reservoirs that are vulnerable to increasing
CO 2 and associated warming. Soil microbes regulate the balance of carbon that is stored in …

Nitrogen is the limiting nutrient for plant growth in peatland ecosystems. Nitrogen addition
significantly affects the plant biomass, diversity and community structure in peatlands …

Degraded peatland has reduced many ecosystem services, such as water quality and
quantity, biodiversity, carbon storage, climate regulations, and other cultural benefits …

Background and aims Changes in morphological traits of fine roots indicate shift in adaptive
strategies. However, it remains unclear how nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) depositions …
