The relative contribution of bryophytes to plant diversity, primary productivity, and ecosystem
functioning increases towards colder climates. Bryophytes respond to environmental …

Climate change can be expected to increase the frequency of summer droughts and
associated low water tables in ombrotrophic peatlands. We studied the effects of periodic water …

Peatlands are wetland ecosystems with great significance as natural habitats and as major
global carbon stores. They have been subject to widespread exploitation and degradation …

Mixotrophic protists are increasingly recognized for their significant contribution to carbon (C)
cycling. As phototrophs they contribute to photosynthetic C fixation, whilst as predators of …

In peatland ecosystems, plant communities mediate a globally significant carbon store. The
effects of global environmental change on plant assemblages are expected to be a factor in …

Increased N deposition may change species composition in grassland communities by
shifting them to P limitation. Interspecific differences in P uptake traits might be a crucial yet …

Peat bogs play a large role in the global sequestration of C, and are often dominated by
different Sphagnum species. Therefore, it is crucial to understand how Sphagnum vegetation in …

Sphagnum cuspidatum, S. magellanicum and S. rubellum are three co‐occurring peat mosses,
which naturally have a different distribution along the microtopographical gradient of the …

Peatlands are natural sources of atmospheric methane ( CH 4 ), an important greenhouse
gas. It is established that peatland methane dynamics are controlled by both biotic and abiotic …

Extreme climate events are predicted to become more frequent and intense. Their ecological
impacts, particularly on carbon cycling, can differ in relation to ecosystem sensitivity. …
