Sphagnum Mosses, the Impact of Disturbances and Anthropogenic Management Actions on their Ecological Role in CO2 Fluxes Generated in Peatland Ecosystems
Resource
Mosses of the genus Sphagnum are the dominant vegetation in most pristine peatlands in temperate and high-latitude regions. They play a crucial role in carbon sequestration, being responsible for ca...
The Biophysical Climate Mitigation Potential of Boreal Peatlands During the Growing Season
Resource
Peatlands and forests cover large areas of the boreal biome and are critical for global climate regulation. They also regulate regional climate through heat and water vapour exchange with the...
